That may well be: it was, however, not part of the presentation but rather came out in answer to a question. Moreover, the Pre is being launched on CDMA only, the GSM remains an announcement only.

Tompe, the statement you quote, which refers to a possible UK version, says the GSM version will be launched in the second half of 2009 - which is not "nearly the same time" but rather after the Sprint 2/3 month exclusive runs out. Anyhow, it's all speculation at the moment and by the time the Pre appears I expect the other manufacturers will have issued updates. Incidentally, I don't know if you have seen this, but the Pre is twice as thick as an iphone but pretty much the same weight: what is it made of, papier mache?

Aha, For some reason I thought h2 meant quarter 2 and I thought "That puts the model right in line with the launch window for the CDMA-based Sprint version, giving the carrier virtually zero exclusivity on the global stage " meant nearly at the same time.
