You can sign up to get an email when it does become available. I agree with Rolf, in that if they're sending this sort of stuff round now, the release ought to be sooner rather than later in Europe... X-mas is later (read TOO LATE!)

Here the link to the (German) announcement on the web: http://www.palm.com/de/de/emails/pre/de-announce.html Whatever soon (German: in Kürze) means. However, I would not expect such an announcement now, when they plan it only for x-mas holidays! Concidering the stock building up in the US-Sprint stores, one could imagine, that they could build up enough stock of GSM Versions to launch it here as well. Just my 2 cents. ;-) Rolf aka icarus Availability:

I wouldn't be surprised if there's no sim free, and i think that would be the nail in the coffin. I want a sim free phone, and want the ability to put any sim card in it. Locking phones to a network (which I suspect will happen) is against my ethics! Fine, when its a PAYG thats designed to be part funded by calls, but not when you're going for an 18 month contract etc etc. Grrr... Christmas – thats what i’d heard.
