They had an a display for it in the O2 shop in bolton town centre so
you could have a look there for their date.
No actual physical phone yet just card board display about what it
does etc and its also in their phone catalogue.

I did actually mention the Palm Pre in this thread but it must have
got lost in the rest of the messages.

BTW the gadget show compared the Nokia and Iphone alongside the palm pre.
The iphone came out best and the palm second which isn't too bad for a new OS.

You may be able to see it on channels fives website still. Try about
a month ago.
