It hasn’t taken quite as long as I thought it would for the GSM version to appear, but it’s still been almost four months since Sprint’s CDMA Palm Pre was first released in the United States. Now a few other parts of the world can have their chance at trying webOS. I figure within another few weeks after that, GSM Pres will be all over eBay, so people in the US who use AT&T and T-Mobile will finally get their shot, too.
Pricing and availability for the UK, Ireland and Germany have just been announced, and it looks like the Pre will be available on 13 October in Germany and on 16 October in the U.K. and Ireland.
Details on tariffs for the phone and service plans will be available here for the UK, here for Ireland, and here for Germany. As with our network partners in the U.S. and Canada, O2 will be the exclusive carrier for Palm Pre for its launch in these countries.

Yep! I am probably going to have to snag one of these off of eBay.
