But yeah. I hope it will be the GSM Pre. I need a phone to replace my Centro. Badly.]]>Jan 21st 2009 10:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/21/palm-announcing-something-at-mwc-next-month-gsm-pre-likely/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/21/palm-announcing-something-at-mwc-next-month-gsm-pre-likely/

So unless Mischief Media Inc. is some sort of subsidiary of Palm, which I doubt, this was nothing more than a troll. And you all fell for it. The reason the site went offline is probably because Palm got wind of it and threatened legal action if they didn't.]]>Jan 22nd 2009 5:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/21/palm-announcing-something-at-mwc-next-month-gsm-pre-likely/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/21/palm-announcing-something-at-mwc-next-month-gsm-pre-likely/Jan 22nd 2009 11:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/21/palm-announcing-something-at-mwc-next-month-gsm-pre-likely/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/21/palm-announcing-something-at-mwc-next-month-gsm-pre-likely/http://mischiefmedia.ca

Their front page mentions:
"We're a digital agency that likes our projects to stand out! We create smart, simple marketing solutions that make sense."

Plus they mention previously working with Palm. Certainly sounds like Palm may have hired them again]]>Jan 22nd 2009 11:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/21/palm-announcing-something-at-mwc-next-month-gsm-pre-likely/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/21/palm-announcing-something-at-mwc-next-month-gsm-pre-likely/Jan 22nd 2009 4:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/21/palm-announcing-something-at-mwc-next-month-gsm-pre-likely/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/21/palm-announcing-something-at-mwc-next-month-gsm-pre-likely/AAHAHAHA!

They may still need to spread out but its Obviously Superior to ATT's CRap Network as big as it may be it Still is Inferior. Pity considering all the Money ATT has thrown into it for nothing aparently.

Look it up.

I think the correct answer here is "the majority of all mobile networks in the world". This is the inherent stupidity of launching a device as CDMA - coverage only makes up 20% of the global network market. GSM is in the vast majority.
