When the Palm Pre shipped in the US last month it was tied to an exclusive contract with the Sprint network. Up until now, we’ve only had vague rumours that the Palm Pre would be exclusive to O2 in this country. However, it seems the Palm Pre will be exclusive to one network, and it won’t be Vodafone.

Vodafone View is Vodafone moderated forum that allows users to ask questions about upcoming devices and availability. In one thread thread over on Vodafone View Ireland the question of the Palm Pre arriving in Ireland any time soon raised its head.
A good question to which the moderator replied to stating that it wouldn’t be coming to Ireland on Vodafone, as it has already been tied up on an exclusive deal with another network. So, it seems we are about to see the Palm Pre hit these shores and more than likely it will be tied to O2.
The biggest stumbling block at the moment seems to be the fact that in its current state it doesn’t support the GSM network, so won’t run. We’re waiting to hear when this modification has been made. There has been no official realise date, or announcement, about the Palm Pre yet but we’re still expecting to see it hit these shores later this year.
