One important difference between Apple’s iPhone and Palm’s Pre is that the iPhone can virtually go anywhere. Besides the USA, the iPhone will be available in 70 more countries in the following months but the Pre won’t. Carriers and customers around the world are waiting for Palm to launch the GSM version of the Pre since that CDMA model Sprint is selling is no good in Europe and other markets.

Good news though, it looks like there’s at least a Pre unit that can deal with a GSM network. And it has been seen in Vietnam where we can safely assume that the phones are being made. Should we assume that a GSM launch is imminent? Is anyone waiting for the GSM Palm Pre?
