Article: Pre 3 a world Phone

HP Pre 3 gets FCC approval; looks like world phone for Verizon | BGR

The Federal Communications Commission recently released documents outlining the testing and approval of Hewlett-Packard’s upcoming flagship smartphone, the HP Pre 3. Beyond the idea that the public release of these documents could mean that an official announcement isn’t far away, the documents also reveal that the CDMA version of the Pre 3, thought to be coming soon to Verizon Wireless, also includes global GSM compatibility. This would make Verizon’s version of the anticipated webOS phone a world phone. The FCC had previously released documents covering the approval of a GSM-only Pre 3 model thought to be headed soon to AT&T. BGR took a hands-on look at the Pre 3 back in February at HP’s Think Beyond event, and we called the device “the webOS smartphone we’ve been waiting for.” Unfortunately, it’s now three months later and we’re still waiting.

I'm kind of excited for this phone... I loved my Palm Centro. Thought it was an amazing device. I just wish they would put out another Pixi because that phone looked awesome. Anyone else getting this phone?

webOS is really cool. Hopefully the Pre 3 is a big hit for Palm/HP. The Pre was nice but the hardware was garbage.

Gave up on webos for good after owning one...

Even if you think the OS is the best, I think they are going to be screwed just trying to get traction against Android, IOS, QNX and WP7...

I love this phone and have decided to go this route once it is released. The Pre 3 and the TouchPad seem to be a match made in heaven! The way the devices integrate just blow my mind. To be able to have my Pre 3 sitting on my desk while my TouchPad is in my hands and be able to text message and mms all from the tablet is awesome. Not to mention the touch of each device to transfer data that is just awesome! This is going to be a great setup!
