When we first saw the YouTube video leak a GSM version of the Palm Pre in Mexico the first thought that raced through our minds was whether or not we’d see a carrier branded Pre in Mexico. Today thanks to a press release from Palm we can now confirm that Telcel will offer the Palm Pre in Mexico on November 27. The device will be available on Telcel’s More for Less Unlimited Internet Plans, but at this time no official device pricing has been released.
The Telcel Palm Pre features the 3.1-inch HVGA resolution touchscreen and slide-out QWERTY keypad we’ve seen on the CDMA version for Sprint. Where the device differs is the HSDPA/GSM/UMTS connectivity which is being used on the GSM version being sold in Europe. There was previous speculation that the GSM Palm Pre coming to Mexico would have a reduced storage size, but we can confirm that this is not the case and the device will feature 8GB of internal storage like the CDMA counterpart. We can also confirm that it does not feature a memory slot like the rumors suggested.
