The Palm Pre makes its Canadian debut exclusively on Bell Mobility’s 3G high-speed mobile network in the second half of 2009. This was announced today by Palm Inc. for the first phone based on the new Palm webOS mobile platform.

Palm webOS is invented exclusively for mobile use. It’s the first mobile platform to automatically bring your information from the many places it resides – on your phone, at work or on the web – into one simple, integrated view. The new Palm Pre and webOS are designed to be so in sync with your needs that it feels like Pre is thinking ahead for you.

Palm Pre is scheduled to be available in Canada exclusively from Bell Mobility in the second half of 2009. Bell Mobility’s pricing for the phone has not yet been determined.
