You know what’s really strange now that I think of it? Everyone got totally excited about the Pre being officially announced by Sprint but nobody noticed how no European carrier hurried to announce the phone for Europe. And I am sure lots of Europeans are more than interested in the Pre.

The Guardian is reporting that O2 has snatched an exclusive deal with Palm and the carrier will bring the GSM Pre this year. Unfortunately rumors say that O2 will launch the Pre before Christmas as it will deal primordially with the new iPhone over the summer. Are we to assume that Palm won’t have enough Pre stock for Europe anyway? I mean we are already expecting CDMA Pre shortages so GSM Pre shortages are only logical.

On a different note, is Vodafone and Orange going to sit quietly and take it? If you know what carrier is bringing the Pre in your country, make sure you drop us a line too.
