Does this mean the Spainish Pre would work in the USA on the ATT network?Some of you asked by private about the bands in which operate the Pre sold in Spain.

I think so. I have talked with Palm and they say yes. I sold one last week to USA, when it arrives I'll say you something, I hope good new 
I have one on the way to the US. Will let you know. Here is a copy of chat with tech support last week with the Palm guys in Spain (I think) and then in the US...
10:15 AM Jbcross: Traveling to the US with this device for an extended stay. I see that the manual says it supports:
--------------
Radio
• Banda dual WCDMA/HSDPA (850/1900 o 900/
2100)
• Cuatribanda GSM/GPRS/EGPRS (850/900/1800/
1900)

thier 3G is 850/1900 - will this pre support 3G in the US??
10:16 AM L. Di Marco: May I have the serial number of the device?
10:16 AM Jbcross: i do not have it available to me at the moment
10:18 AM L. Di Marco: Good, could you give me one moment while I'm doing some research to answer your question?
10:18 AM Jbcross: Yes.
10:23 AM Jbcross: here is the seriel number - P5FU09Wxxxxxx
10:24 AM L. Di Marco: Sir, the phone does support 3G. If you will be in the United States, you will have to use
roaming or you will have to contact your carrier for more specifications about 3G coverage.
10:25 AM L. Di Marco: This is your session ID number, please keep it as a reference number for further assistance. It is xxxxxxx.
10:26 AM Jbcross: I am aware of the limitations of roaming, and the fact that it is based upon the service i contract with the carrier, however my specific question is - Is this Pre capable of using the 850/1900 3G bands - specifically?
10:28 AM L. Di Marco: Sir, you mean being in the United States right?
10:28 AM Jbcross: correct
10:31 AM Jbcross: I know this to me is confusing, as there is much conflicting infomation out there. But i understand that the 3G bands used in the US are different then are used in the rest of the world...
10:32 AM L. Di Marco: Yes, sir it is capable of using the 850/1900 3G bands being in the United States.
10:33 AM Jbcross: Great. as the info I had before indicated that the 850/1900 bands would only be GSM/Edge - and NOT 3G
10:36 AM Jbcross: Thank you for confirming this. Is there any other info you want to pass on to me or check into?
10:38 AM L. Di Marco: the 850/1900 GSM/Edge is compatible with 3G so there should be no inconvenient using the PRE over the US
10:39 AM Jbcross: *** I understand that the device will function in the US. I am trying to confirm that it will work utilizing the faster speeds on the 3G frequencies of the network.
10:41 AM L. Di Marco: It should it depends on the signals and how the Pre will deal with that signal.
10:43 AM Jbcross: I appreciate your time and efforts on my questions. Is there a way that you can confirm it as a yes or no? I dont want to sound critical, but saying "it should" is just not an acceptable answer from my perspective.
10:47 AM L. Di Marco: Actually I cannot be more specific just because we work with different systems than in the US. What I recommend you to do for more specifications is to contact the US technical support.
10:48 AM Jbcross: do you have a link for US techical support?
10:48 AM L. Di Marco: Give me one moment please.
10:49 AM L. Di Marco: <http://www.palm.com/us/>
10:49 AM Jbcross: thank you

Can show a Pic or vedio? I am so interesting about this news. thanks
Am I correct in assuming these will fully support 3G in the UK?
I'm considering the Rebel Sim at the minute but this seems like a better solution!

Interesting.... the New Bell/Telus HSPA network is the same as what is overseas, so I'm sure this would work on the new Bell network as well. If they would let the GSM phone on it I guess....
GReat work Goma, giving another option to all of the North American Pre owners!

Doz007 in the UK yes, is the same model sold in Spain.
dalewinterstein is from South Africa and he has no problem in his country with the Pre GSM I sold him

Great stuff, do they have a QWERTY keyboard also?Doz007 in the UK yes, is the same model sold in Spain.
Yes Doz007, they have Qwerty keyboard.
I ordered mine from goma, it's on its way now. Already got my touchstone and seido from precentral
I'm confused about this 850 and 900 stuff. I need 900/2100, hope I won't be getting an 850/1900?

As soon as I see confirmation from a user that the GSM Pre works on the AT&T 3G network then I will be buying one.
anybody having hardware issues with their Pre? Thinking about ordering one to Iceland, but I want to make sure it doesn't have oreo or dead pixel's or light bleading.
I am waiting for confirmation of T-Mobile.
I have a My Touch, but I really hate the Calendar and Notes stuff. It's very simplistic, even compared to my old Treo 680.

It seems that the model that goma is selling is the NA model Palm with the following specs: Cellular;Networks: GSM850, GSM900, GSM1800, GSM1900, UMTS850, UMTS1900
Looks like Optus will roam for you

Don't you mean 900/2100? There are several people in this thread stating it works on 2100 in EU, this is the Spain version.Hi bennish,

I received my Palm Pre Qwerty GSM yesterday, thanks to Goma
I'm with Virgin Mobile (Optus) here in Australia, although it recognised the network, I did not get a 3G symbol and and could not create a profile due to no data
So used my Vodafone sim and it showed the 3G symbol and I could create a profile, sync etc
I then flashed to 1.3.1 (Sprint) and then used my Virgin sim, created the appropriate APN and now get the 3G symbol and can sync, surf and do MMS
All good so far
