    Not for a while anyway, O2 have an exclusive. It's likely to be a shorter exclusivity period than the iPhone though.

    No date finalized, it's currently being tested by O2. They say quarter 4 of this year, rumors point to late October. The O2 guy testing it was on their forums today and he's very impressed with it.

    It's 3G. Would be a joke if it wasn't in this day and age tbh.

    Advantages: Capacitive touchscreen compared to the N97's resistive screen.
    Multitasking and excellent notifications system. Push Gmail and Google Talk integrated into the OS. Wireless charger available for it. Here's a review: http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/03/palm-pre-review/

    Disadvantages: The N97 would have a lot more apps available for it at the moment and has 32GB of storage versus the Pre's 8GB.

    There's a mistake on that site. It says the Pre has infrared; it doesn't.
