The GSM Palm Pre might be an O2 exclusive in the UK but that doesn’t have to stop your hopes of owning a GSM Palm Pre.  Online mobile mega retailer eXpansys has started offering the unlocked GSM Palm Pre on their European website for £499.99.  Unfortunately this will not take care of your US 3G bands, but it would get you in the door with EDGE data speeds in the states.  Although this might be completely unacceptable to many, those itching for a Palm Pre fixing should jump at the offer.
