Hi! Thanks to everyone for their replies ... really appreciate it

Unfortunately, it looks very unlikely that the Palm Pre would be coming to Australia. There is no word on it at all here in Oz
Two questions for you guys:
1) Would the Palm Pre automatically detect internet settings like the newer WIndows Mobile Devices do? (thereby getting past the lack of ability to manually configure internet settings)
2) Flashing with WebOS Doctor... if you download this from the US or UK Palm Site rather than the German one, would this put the QWERTY firmware on? Or is there some internal identifier that's going to force QWERTZ to be used. Anyone want to Guinea pig?
Thanks again!!
