The Palm Pre has been on sale in the USA for quite a while now, while us Brits have been stuck playing with the old Palm Pre. Boo!
However, that is all set to change soon with O2 announcing yesterday that they are going to be selling the device from the end of May. O2 have even released the price plans for both the Palm Pre Plus and for the Pixi Plus.
The Palm Pre Plus will come free on the £35 per month price plan - if you are happy to sign up for a 24month contract! If not, you are looking at a £40 monthly charge.
All the price plans come with unlimited internet (both data and wi-fi) as well as unlimited texts, with the only limit being on how many minutes you can use per month.
The phones are available on 18months price plans but you will be subject to another £5 a month.
The Palm Pre Plus comes with an increased hard drive, packing a double its processor at 16GB, and also double is the phones ram, holding a nice 512 ram chip inside its little case. And the casing, I’m afraid, is the only thing that Palm decided not to improve from the original; so it is the same cheap plastic feeling material and the sharp keypad. Bleugh.
But, all in all, a nice phone.
