Feliz Navidad Mexico
Olé!
maybe by then, the GSM version will be shipping with at least 1.2... unacceptable that we still have 1.1.3 here in the U.K.
Ay dios mio
Palm is going to roll out 1.3.1 to all phones by the end of the month, apparently.
Anyone know if these units will be 3G capable? The QWERTZ-keyboard Pres you can import from Germany (for a cool $710, mind you) are only Edge.
Regardless, I'll be checking eBay pretty soon after the launch.
Pretty sure it will be 3G since Telcel doesn't have EDGE.
my mistake, telcel has edge also but they been promoting 3G plans on everything for years, so it' wouldn't surprise me this will run on 3g only.
what about the pixi? little late mexico
they have computers in Mexico?
Well, when you are surrounded by rediculously Lucious and hot Mexican women, you dont really have interest in standing in 12 hour lines to get the latest Mac or i7...
Ignorant comment of the day, specially when lots of US software gets done there...
seeing as how the 3rd most richest person in the world lives there and he got rich though the telecom industry, I'm guessing they do!

No David, we don't. In fact, we still ride our donkey's to work just like in the disney cartoons, even though they are well over 50 years old.
Read a book, dipshit.
What a BASTARD!
First they take our phones, next it's our jobs!!
Oh wait....
lol, comment of the day!
they took our jerwbbs
What jobs?
MUAHAHAHAHAH ...next all your base are belong to them!
¡Viva La Revolución!
¡Viva los panqueques del estómago!
Tengo gusto del sexo
!!yo tengo mi paleo in la boca de tu madre!!
¡Viva La Countér-revolución!
I really just want it to come to T-mobile.
Anyone know what fequency they run on TELCEL? Really been waiting for this to happen so i can get it for canada GSM.
That's what I was looking at. Bell and Telus finally have HSPA up and running and I need a GSM phone in the near future as I'm taking off to Europe. Wouldn't mind travelling with one of these...
850/1900 UMTS
850/900/1800/1900 GSM
850/1900 UMTS 3G (Bands 2 and 5)
850/900/1800/1900 GSM
Damn comment system.
Toni, you should call your ma.
I'm going home(Mexico) for Christmas.. accepting PayPal orders starting in 3..2...1
If you are serious and won't gouge me too badly, I'm in for one. Be gentle.
Let me get there first.. I have to make sure Telcel wont tie me down to a contract or something like that..
How would we contact each other? Do they (Telus) typically offer full price phones (out of contract) like they do here in the US?
...Mexican Oreos anyone?
I think Telcel runs 850 Mhz 3G, 1900 Mhz for EDGE, I clocked in about 2.5 mbps this last July I went.
BTW WebOS sounds like huevos = balls, testes, nads :)
UR DUMB U NEED 2 WASH DAT MOUTH WIT SOAP
no h is silent in spanish j is the h sound and its juevos, or eggs in english. juevos in slang for testicles
oh and v is pronounced as a soft b in spanish too.
damn comment system...
koala, you should call your ma
ok so now it will be americans crossing the borders to get a GSM pre lol
Damn straight. If it weren't for Palm signing that f*%&ing exclusivity agreement with Sprint . . .
GSM Palm Pre bound for Brazil, coming when the hell freezes over :(
Found this online - isn't that the same as AT&T? If so, would I be stuck with telephono 'en espanol or could I change the language?
Mexico
Telcel 850/1900(HSPA)
Movistar 850/1900(HSPA)
Iusacell 850(CDMA)
The american version lets you choose spanish/english on first boot.
you would have a enyeh key:)
We weren't interested because it's exclusive to Sprint. If Palm released it Verizon the story would have been different. That ship has sailed though with the advent of the Droid. Goodbye Palm.
It wont do 3G on TMobile.
Of course, TMobile has crappy 3G coverage anyway so it doesn't matter.
And so does AT&T, for that matter.
someone create a "is the water safe to drink" app, STAT!
Sorry, but in mexico there aren't idiots, so it's not necessary.You on the other hand...
Does it come with a creepy Mexican redhead?
SAME 3G FREQUENCY AS 3G!!!
SRY TMOBILE
Yo quiero mi Palm com huevOS 1.3!!
juevOS h is silent it would be pronounced ooevos with and and and you said i want mi palm (did you mean con?) with eggs1.3
I think that's WebOS.
@koala it is huevos not juevos, you already corrected 2 people, but you are wrong, trust me i'm mexican.
I love the mexicans, they do everything we (whites) don't like to do. Would that be the reason as why they are getting richer?
The funny thing is that your first sentence was used to justify slavery. Elitism - always fun when you're the one dishing it out!
Third richest? No one ever counts the middle east family and oil money. Trump, Gates, and HElu have nothing on their net worth. That said I get your point, 35 billion is more than I have anyway.
Please be about $500 or less.
What a weekend-Mexico, the weather, the food, the beaches, and then come back with a GSM Palm Pre...
Tech nirvana...
¿Qué hora es?
{those of you who've seen the clip will get it)
FYI

UMTS/HSDPA with EDGE
Is Subcomodante Marcos going to get one?

When I bring my Telcel phone over to the
states it uses AT&T.
I will buy one of these and use it on my AT&T plan.
Maybe we can use the GPS to track the border jumpers now
telecel = sprint for amricans
