Palm seems to be making an active, conscientious effort to say as little as it can about the GSM version of the Pre, possibly in an effort to give Sprint as much spotlight as possible before its exclusivity expires -- but as we all know, its real and its coming. Thing is, Palm has always implied that its being limited to European duty with a 3G radio that fails to cover bands that are of any interest to North Americans, so what the heck is this noise all about? Multiple certification bodies are now reporting the existence of a Pre model number P100UNA, as opposed to the P100UEU thats launching in Europe -- and it doesnt take a lot of detective work to gather that those codes on the end stand for "North America" and "European Union," respectively (for the record, the CDMA version on Sprint is P100EWW, so it aint that). One distinct possibility is that Palms preparing a version to cover Bells new HSPA network since the carrier is Palms exclusive Pre launch partner in Canada and theyre smack in the middle of a transition from CDMA -- and needless to say, if thats the case, therell be an unprecedented effort to get that sucker unlocked on the double.WiFi certification [Warning: PDF link]
