At this point in time, we don't know for sure if the Palm Pre will be available in Southeast Asia though we'd love to see it here. The Pre is currently available on Sprint in the US and, in its current form that works on CDMA networks, we won't be able to use it here in Asia since most operators' networks here are based on GSM.

Will we see a GSM version of the Pre then? It's hard to say, though it'd be unthinkable for Palm not to have thought about it yet. A GSM-based Pre with a Vodafone SIM card was spotted at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona this February and a recent leaked ROM image of the Pre's operating system, webOS, gives a glimmer of hope that the company could already be all ready for it.
