Palm Pre to Launch in Mexico with Telcel

Palm and Telcel today announced that the Palm® Pre™ phone is scheduled to be available Nov. 27 in Mexico on the Telcel network. Palm Pre is the first phone in a family of products based on the Palm webOS™ software, which brings mobile applications together in a unique and intuitive multitasking platform that enables consumers and businesses to connect to their information in more useful and usable ways.

“With the introduction of Palm Pre with Telcel in Mexico, we’re expanding the Palm webOS footprint into Latin America for the first time,” said Dave Whalen, senior vice president, Global Sales, Palm, Inc. “We’re steadily increasing momentum for Palm webOS as we continue to roll out products with new carriers and countries.”

Palm Pre, which is currently available in North America (United States and Canada) and Europe (the UK, Ireland, Germany and Spain), features a smooth, elegantly rounded ergonomic design and a physical keyboard that slides out only when needed. It’s engineered to feel natural in your hand and comfortably small in your pocket. When closed, Palm Pre is ideal for phone calls, web browsing, music, photos and videos; when open, Palm Pre is optimized for email and text messaging. With its curved slider and gesture-controlled touch interface, Palm Pre fuses exquisite design with the revolutionary Palm webOS software for fast access to content on the device or web.
