SIM card spotted in Palm Pre

We were really hoping that Palm would announce the HSDPA/GSM version of the Pre during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, but that didn't happen. The folks at PreCommmunity managed to get some time with the device, and, in a quick shot that showed the back battery cover off, a Vodafone SIM card was spotted.

The fact that it has a Vodafone SIM card indicates that this is a GSM version of the Pre. So even without an official statement, we know that Palm doesn't only have the CDMA version ready. Just why the Sunnyvale company is holding back on an announcement isn't clear. But these manufacturer-operator relations can be tricky, so we just have to be patient. Check out PreCommunity's video after the jump for a quick look at the Palm Pre's SIM card slot.
