Palm Pre's European Debut: Hot or Not?

It looks like the study we posted earlier this week gauging how interested UK smartphone users are in buying the Pre has some merit to as recent tweets [via prethinking] from O2 in the UK seem to suggest. Some interesting tidbits from their twitter feed? They've sold more Pre's today than the total number of handsets they sell in an average day,  and over 50% of people who bought a Pre also picked up a Touchstone charger.

We have heard a few reports of low inventory at other locations and as Annie just noted, Movistar went all out with a swanky and somewhat surreal launch party. We've already noted that things seem to have gone well in Germany.

We've launched a new GSM Palm Pre Forum for you folks looking to discuss specific issues for the non-CDMA versions of the Pre, too, so feel free to head on in and tell us how it's all going for you. Members are already compiling APN carrier settings to be found pre-loaded on certain versions of the Pre, if you like the nitty-gritty.
