Probably a few weeks to a month after the US release. Just like with the storm And I dont think it will take as long as 6 months for it to be released at bell.

One of the above posters was only partially correct in the Storm launch mention. TELUS had the Storm as exclusive on their site for a day, and it was quickly taken down as it never was exclusive to either provider. On the other hand, both TELUS and Bell have launched exclusive devices, but the beauty is that it's typically only exclusive for the first month before those chains are broken and it show up elsewhere. I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case here. The word "exclusive" could be a day, a week or a month who knows, but my bet is no later than 30 days after Bell hits the market, TELUS will follow suit.

If they were going to take this long, they shouldnt have announced it so soon. I can only speak for myself but I really wanted this phone but I couldnt wait any longer so I got a G1 and absolutely love it. I am not going to be getting a Pre now. I bet there a lot of people out there that did something similar. Sprint and Palm killed any real chance this phone had by making everyone wait soooo long.

When ever I watch tv now I notice the pre on all the Sprint commercialism, but they aren't selling it or presenting any official plans of releasing it. Sprint's marketing people are sinking this phone. So, this is coming out fall towards Christmas season in the US?

Telus used similar language when they announced the blackberry storm and the next day, Bell announced the storm, so there is a likelihood that this handset may find its way to telus as well.

GSM is already known to be coming, but don't expect it on AT&T anytime soon. The Palm Eos (think Centro with multi-touch and webOS) will have to do in the short term.
