There will be a GSM-friendly 3G Palm Pre

We’ve gotten Palm on the record saying that there’s a WCDMA (read: UMTS world 3G) version of the Pre in the works, though we don’t know when or where. That means that the AT&Ts, T-Mobiles, and Vodafones of the world will get a shot at this baby. Suggestion, Palm: “soon” and “everywhere.”

Update: We’ve just seen a copy of the Pre’s press release, and sadly, the 3G GSM version is listed as being intended for “other regions” — in other words, places not served by Sprint. The good news, we guess, is that we’ve also confirmed that it’s HSDPA, so at least it’ll be hauling ass.
