Sim-free Palm Pré pre-orders tip up in UK
Yours for at least £450
Agentless Backup is Not a Myth
Palm’s must-have new smartphone, the Pré, has popped up for pre-order on the websites of two different UK-based retailers.

Blighty's gadget-mad can pre-order a Pré through Handtec
HandTec is now accepting advance orders for £517.49 ($856/€588), while mPhone will put a Pré aside on your behalf for a slightly more pocketable £449.98 ($827/€568).
Both retailers list the Pré as a Sim-free device, but neither has indicated when the first UK deliveries will be made.
Neither Palm nor O2 – which has a UK exclusive on the Pré – have confirmed when the device will officially be available to buy in the UK, or how much it will cost.

...or through mPhone
Expansys, another online retailer specialising in smartphones, still lists the Pré as merely “coming soon”. The retailer hasn’t stated a potential Pré price. ®

Hoping for unlocked retail
My contract with Orange is absolutely killer and I'm dreading the prospect of having to jump ship to o2. I've been working my way to coming to terms with the idea, but this is a small ray of hope for me. Even if these people do look like cowboys.
It's a red herring
Sim Free is meaningless when it's not Network Restriction free
A pox on 02!
What's with the MiniSD in the specs ?
I thought the Palm Pre was 8Gb and that's yer lot.
