Palm has stated that a GSM version of the Palm Pre is in the works and many expect an announcement regarding a European release of the Palm Pre to occur in the next couple of months. GSM is the predominant wireless technology throughout the world and it is also used by AT&T and T-Mobile in the US. If the European GSM model is "quad-band", then an "unlocked" version would be functional with any US sim card. Apparently MobileCity feels confident that Palm will release a quad-band GSM model and has started taking pre-orders for an unlocked Palm Pre.
For $699.99, you can own a pre-order for an unlocked Palm Pre that hasn’t been announced yet and has no ETA. Buyer beware.
