Bell today announced that the Palm Pre would be available on August 27th. Bell has been accepting pre-orders at both retail locations and their website. The Palm Pre will be priced at $199.95 on a three-year contract or $599.95 without a contract (with a minimum 500MB data plan).

“We’re very excited to bring the revolutionary Palm Pre and the Palm webOS mobile platform to Canadians exclusively on Bell’s national wireless network – the largest high-speed 3G network in Canada,” said Wade Oosterman, President of Bell Mobility and Chief Brand Officer for Bell. “Considering the highly successful US introduction of the Palm Pre by Sprint in June and fast-growing Palm Pre buzz among Canadian mobile users, Bell and our retail partners are preparing for high demand for this breakthrough phone.”

“Palm is creating a new measure of simplicity and usefulness that is changing how people look at smartphones,” said Katie Mitic, senior vice president, Product Marketing, Palm, Inc. “It’s a new experience to access and connect the related but often decentralized information in your life, and we’re eager to share the Palm experience with Canada through Bell Mobility.”
