Palm crafting GSM versions of the Pre Plus and Pixi Plus?

Pardon us if we’re playing the role of Captain Obvious here, but just a heads up: we’ve got some pretty solid evidence before our eyes that Palm has GSM versions of both Verizon’s Pre Plus and Pixi Plus in the pipe. Said proof comes via the certification gurus at TUV Rheinland who’ve listed both a P101UNA and P121UNA in their systems from Palm; P101 and P121 are the numeric codes for the Pre Plus and Pixi Plus, respectively, and “UNA” indicates a GSM variant (versus the deliciously underhanded “EWW” for CDMA). Now, neither AT&T nor Palm have given a lick of indication what two models they’ll be releasing later this year — but this is certainly a convenient coincidence, isn’t it?

First GSM Palm Pre now on sale in Germany, with new Euro-specific apps in tow

We knew it was coming, and here it is — the glorious first showing of the Palm Pre in its GSM garb. From today, our Deutsch comrades can grab a Pre and do whatever they want to do to it, courtesy of O2, its exclusive German supplier. The device will set you back €481 without contract, with the O2 My Handy option letting you finance it via 24 monthly payments of €20. Check out the online store link below for full details and available calling plans. Pre Thinking have also noted the arrival of two new free apps in the Pre catalog — ran and VZ-Netzwerke, both in German — and the likely prospect of even more coming along as the Pre starts its long-awaited rollout across Europe over the next few days.

Palm Pixi stares GSM in the face, lives to brag about it

Though nothing’s been announced, betting against a GSM version of the Palm Pixi would be a foolish move. There’s certainly no mistaking that “E” for Edge logo and SIM slot beneath the battery in these leaked images from Vietnam (yes, again). Oddly, this particular GSM variant pictured only contains 4GB of internal storage vs. the 8GB model announced for Sprint. Perhaps a prototype limitation only? Let’s hope.

Palm prepping Pre with North American GSM, but for whom?

Palm seems to be making an active, conscientious effort to say as little as it can about the GSM version of the Pre, possibly in an effort to give Sprint as much spotlight as possible before its exclusivity expires — but as we all know, it’s real and it’s coming. Thing is, Palm has always implied that it’s being limited to European duty with a 3G radio that fails to cover bands that are of any interest to North Americans, so what the heck is this noise all about? Multiple certification bodies are now reporting the existence of a Pre model number P100UNA, as opposed to the P100UEU that’s launching in Europe — and it doesn’t take a lot of detective work to gather that those codes on the end stand for “North America” and “European Union,” respectively (for the record, the CDMA version on Sprint is P100EWW, so it ain’t that). One distinct possibility is that Palm’s preparing a version to cover Bell’s new HSPA network since the carrier is Palm’s exclusive Pre launch partner in Canada and they’re smack in the middle of a transition from CDMA — and needless to say, if that’s the case, there’ll be an unprecedented effort to get that sucker unlocked on the double.
