The day has come and the Palm Pre is now officially on sale on the eastern shores of the Atlantic. While a survey in the UK indicated that anticipation for the Pre is running high, we had little indication how the Pre would do in Germany. If the pre-launch launch parties that O2 held across Germany were any indication, the Pre will do well there too. A reader who works at a German O2 store told us, “Our shop is on a good run to sell all 40 Pres we had in stock. I’m waiting more than an hour right now to get the employee contract for the Pre. Telesales are flooding.” That sounds like a sign of brisk sales to me.
Those pre-launch launch parties took place all across Germany and the folks over at Tamspalm.de collected a ton of photos from the events. Every store seemed to be crowded with champagne, hors d’oeuvres, and most importantly: people. Those people were there for one reason: the Palm Pre.
That, or they've been wooed by O2's excellent television commercials, one more is after the break.
