Official fix for GSM APN entry problem on the way

by Shawn Brown on October 31st, 2009

For those of you who waited for the GSM Palm Pre to release so that you could have it in all of its unlocked goodness you may have run into a roadblock along the way with the APN. Turns out that the Pre was never programmed for the entry of an APN but the customer. [...]

Germany welcomes the Palm Pre

by Shawn Brown on October 14th, 2009

The Pre is finally making its way worldwide after releasing here in the US just 4 months ago. Canada is enjoying the Pre as well on Bell Canada and now its time for Germany to enjoy the GSM version of the Pre. Just released in Germany on the carrier O2 the Pre has seemed to [...]

O2 Pre ads much more fun

by Shawn Brown on October 13th, 2009

The Pre ads in the US were some kind of wack, apparently hitting the target audience dead on. O2 has their own Palm Pre ads and they are definitely made to a different target audience altogether, I actually want to watch these. This ad is in the first person view of someone enjoying all the [...]

O2 Pre poses for Mr. Blurry cam

by Shawn Brown on October 7th, 2009

Finally we get to see the packaging for the O2 version of the Palm Pre. Nothing new here just the same old box we saw with the Sprint version, just some blue coloring where the yellow is on ours. The box contents are about the same with the only difference being the European adapter for [...]

O2 throwing 6 premier launch parties for the Pre release

by Shawn Brown on October 4th, 2009

Many companies hold launch parties for the mobile phones that they are most excited about such as T-Mobile and the G1. O2 is no exception to this rule as they have just notified people via email of their plans. Instead of having one huge blowout party for the Pre on O2 they are having 6 [...]

GSM pre may ship with webOS 1.1.2

by Shawn Brown on October 4th, 2009

We are now hearing that the GSM version on the Palm Pre will launch with webOS 1.1.3 rather than the new 1.2. This makes sense as the launch date being mid October makes the bulk of devices produced before the update was released. Europe may not even see the newer webOS version till November. There [...]

GSM Palm Pre gets O2 dates and pricing

by Shawn Brown on September 24th, 2009

After a long waiting time we finally have turned what is said to be an Autum release date into a pinpointed day for the GSM version of the Pre. It looks like O2 will have the Pre exclusively available in the UK on October 16th just in time for . . . . . Halloween? [...]

GSM version of the Palm Pre hitting sometime this Autumn

by Shawn Brown on September 21st, 2009

We have all heard plenty about the GSM version of the Palm Pre launching overseas and the dispute between third party retailers and Palm with unlocked units. There is still no definite price point or release date but O2’s Germany site is telling us it will be sometime in “Autumn.” There are even teaser videos [...]

UK Getting Palm Pre October 30th?

by PalmWebOS.org on September 1st, 2009

Canadian WebOS lovers were recently taken out of their misery when the Pre launched on Bell. Unfortunately UK WebOS lovers still have to wait… but perhaps only a couple more months. An anonymous tipster informed PalmWebOSBlog that the Palm Pre will be available on O2 starting October 30th. We already know the Pre is coming [...]

Palm Pre may get BBC iPlayer

by Shawn Brown on July 8th, 2009

It looks as if the UK version of the Palm Pre will launch on O2 with BBC iPlayer installed. Dave Whalen, Palm’s senior vice president of global sales, commented saying that it is well under way on UK-specific apps right out of the box. More info after the jump. While Whalen could not give more [...]
