Palm Pre Plus and Pixi Plus Available Soon for O2 Customers in the UK

For those waiting to buy the Palm Pre Plus and Palm Pixi Plus in UK, there's some good news. Palm and O2 have confirmed that both these phones will be launched on the latter's network in UK on May 28th. As far as the pricing goes, it's definitely on the higher side. The lowest monthly tariff price is £25 and the highest is £60. If you opt for £35 or above, you get the device (Pre Plus or Pixi Plus) for free on a two year contract. O2 offers an 18 month contract as well.

All O2 tariff plans offer unlimited texts and unlimited public Wi-Fi. IMO, the £40 per month deal (600 minutes, unlimited data and WiFi) is true value for money. Palm has projected the Pre Plus as a full-featured Palm webOS(TM) phone having a slider keyboard, a larger touchscreen and a high-performance processor. As for Pixi, its Palm's thinnest phone to date and perfect for buyers who want an affordable phone with a full QWERTY keyboard instantly accessible for messaging and web content.

It is interesting to note that O2 was the first carrier which launched the erstwhile Palm Pre phone. O2 also plans to launch these devices in Germany. These devices are also expected to be launched by other carriers in France and Spain in the next several weeks.
