O2 UK says the Palm Pre phone will be available from 16th October directly from O2 and also from The Carphone Warehouse, Phones4U and selected O2 Business partners. It’ll be free on a two-year contract costing £34.26 per month and also on 18-month contracts if you pay upwards of £44.05 monthly. Rather like the company’s iPhone deal, there’s an ‘unlimited’ UK data deal via O2’s HSDPA network and The Cloud & BT Openzone WiFi hotspots. [O2 blog]
