First of all, the palm pre to be released first is not a GSM derivative, it is CDMA; which, like the Imperial system of measurement, is really only used in North America. Secondly, it will, most likely, be available later on other carriers. Eventually you will be able to obtain the unlock code from one of these carriers. Specifically, the first round of release (like the iPhone and the G1) will be dedicated to a single US CDMA carrier, Sprint. Telus (in Canada) will probably be the second carrier (pure speculation). Then they may work something out with Alltel and VZW (more speculation). Of course, a GSM version of the phone is slated for later this year. So sit tight, I'm sure some profiteering Vodafone reseller will be selling unlocked GSM Pres in no time. source: http://www.pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=1689 Ali,

I already postponed my plans to buy other devices. Can anyone tell me? So, is it sure that there will be no UNLOCKED version of Palm Pre.
