GSM Palm Pre unlocked with a little Rebel assistance
Posted in: hack, o2, palm, pre, Today's Chili
It’s not exactly the native unlock we’ve been waiting for, but those of you in Europe dying for a Pre unshackled from O2 will be happy to know that the Rebel Simcard II is now compatible with Palm’s first webOS device. The £10.99 / $17.95 accessory card slots in between your carrier’s SIM and the Pre’s SIM slot, bypassing the Pre’s network locks and allowing full access to voice and data services including 3G. Sadly, the Pre doesn’t have the radio support to make this work in the States on anything but EDGE, but at least it’s a start, right? Video after the break.
[Thanks, Ji]
