so what the point of unlocking...]]>Nov 3rd 2009 2:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/gsm-palm-pre-unlocked-with-a-little-rebel-assistance/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/gsm-palm-pre-unlocked-with-a-little-rebel-assistance/
The point is that it's one step closer to working with US networks, and now can switch off to many networks in Europe. Shockingly, there is more to the world (and engadget readership) than just the USA.]]>Nov 3rd 2009 2:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/gsm-palm-pre-unlocked-with-a-little-rebel-assistance/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/gsm-palm-pre-unlocked-with-a-little-rebel-assistance/Nov 3rd 2009 2:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/gsm-palm-pre-unlocked-with-a-little-rebel-assistance/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/gsm-palm-pre-unlocked-with-a-little-rebel-assistance/Nov 3rd 2009 2:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/gsm-palm-pre-unlocked-with-a-little-rebel-assistance/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/gsm-palm-pre-unlocked-with-a-little-rebel-assistance/

WHat I wanted to point out is, that O2's Pre is unlocked, so there's no need unlocking it!]]>Nov 3rd 2009 2:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/gsm-palm-pre-unlocked-with-a-little-rebel-assistance/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/gsm-palm-pre-unlocked-with-a-little-rebel-assistance/

Additionally, this may be glaringly obvious, but people seem confused.
The Pre, from O2, is NOT available sim-free/unlocked in the UK.]]>Nov 3rd 2009 4:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/gsm-palm-pre-unlocked-with-a-little-rebel-assistance/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/gsm-palm-pre-unlocked-with-a-little-rebel-assistance/http://www.superetrader.co.uk/palm-pre-uk-black-sim-free-pda-phone-p-3887.html?gad=CMDIu8kDEgg-s_Nh2Zr1URiY3OT-AyCY9p4z&

Is the british O2 really sellig them locked?

Not that i would get one (or that british O2 would matter to me), but this is stupid.

Well, i think i stay with manufacturers that sell their handsets direct, without carrier intervention.

It's locked.. Just like the video, it asks for an Unlock code,

You can still use Wifi, but no phone calls.
