Just noticed it here in Germany as well! Funny though, I use my Pre with English language settings and get the price in £ as well, but it's £4.99 here! Might be a mixup though (£ for €)
Off we go!

Only free apps all over. But that's the price you pay being outside the zone, I guess

With my german lockfree Pre, activated in France (with a french sim) and currently used in Italy with an italian sim (mobile world, mobile life...) I CAN SEE MODERN COMBAT with its price in €!! But also have the "not available in your region" when requiring the download...

I was saying to myself it would never work in my case, and this morning was already thinking to put it at sale on eBay. SO FAR doesn't look so bad as would have thought, I will give it a few more days ;-)

If definitely there is no short term solution for Pre users outside of O2 contracts in Europe, I will give away. It is too frustrating not to be able to use fully the device, while still having paid 500€ for it to Palm... Pity, I really love it and do not see anything as good in the competition. But, yes, in the competition in particular iPhone, you can use it fully featured from anywhere...

Strange, the app was there this morning but seems to have disappeared in the last 15 minutes. I take it they are working it all out right now?

I'm wondering how we will be able to enter our payment information...

Yep, one app, and same error message. Still don't know if I'm gonna need a credit card or whether the cost will be added to my bill.

The important setting is Regional Settings. When you have there Czech Republic like me, you see Kc4.99 and that would be great price (0,20 EUR). My phone is German PRE, Language English, Formats Czech Republic

Before today, could you actually see any of the free apps?

Here in Sweden we havent had any apps for three long months and there aint any visible now either. Not that I had any hopes or so.
