Nothing official, but PalmPreBlog posted an email response by someone from Vodafone UK , saying that the carrier is in early negotiations with Palm:

With regrets, I can not currently share any information regarding the Palm Pre handset; we are still in early negotiation with Palm, but nothing is solid. I can double check next week but as of this point in time that is all I know.

Palm Europe’s VP of sales already officially announced that U.K will get the Pre in the second half of 2009. Going to Vodafone doesn’t sound so strange, especially having in mind that the BlackBerry Storm they offer is definitely not the iPhone killer everybody is looking for, and Pre is expected to really be.

We received news from a credible source that BestBuy Mobile will be getting an exclusive deal with Sprint for the Palm Pre release. For 60 days the number one consumer electronics retailer will be the only place where you can get your hands on the Palm Pre, besides Sprint of course. This partnership makes sense seeing the Sprint also launched the Samsung Instinct exclusively with them during the summer of 2008. This liaison will benefit all three of the companies in the deal. Best Buy will get its hands first which will make it the place to get the device. Sprint may come back to win over customers with Palm’s formidable touch phone.

Ed Colligan mentioned that both the CDMA and the UMTS Pre may come to Canada … unfortunately, no details on time period were given. US will get it in the first half, through Sprint. UK will get it in the second and Canada – well, we hope it will be available there before the end of the year. The best scenario will be to get both CDMA and GSM version, so more people will be able to use it.
