According to Engadget, Palm has gone on record saying there will be a GSM model of the Palm Pre. The GSM 3G Palm Pre will be available in "other regions", so this most likely means regions where Sprint does not offer service. Given Palm's relationship with Vodafone, it's a safe bet they will be the first outside of Sprint to see the Palm Pre.

It's already been stated elsewhere that Sprint has the exclusive until 2010...that being said I wish Palm would have thought this through and put there flagship phone on Verizon where it could actually take advantage of their network...Sprint is good in some areas but not all...Verizon has more consistent coverage around the US...so travelers will not want to go to Sprint because of the spotty coverage...let's hope someone buys Palm before they go bankrupt...the Pre can't save them if no one wants to switch to Sprint...

Palm frustrates me with their business decisions that just seem to drive their awesome products to the ground. Do you guys remember the Handspring? Or, the first ever commercial Smartphone by Palm? They have been all but absent since and allowed other companies to take hold of the market.
And now that they are finally back with a far superior product, they go and give a CDMA company (Sprint) exclusivity, a move will sure limit their market to no end!
Why do I say that the Palm Pre is a far superior product? It's the simple fact that you don't have to be locked into a certain group to use it. You don't have to live in the Google cloud or be an exclusive iTunes or Outlook person. The Palm Pre can pull and sync your data from multiple sources so you don't even have to change the way you do things today.
Not to mention of course that it is built on Linux and all the benefits that come from being an open-source solution.
