Looks like comments from Palm made at MWC 2009 in regards to a European version of the Pre have some backing to them. Just today, Palm unveiled the webOS-enabled Pre on their UK website, with the slogan "Coming soon!" in bold and a picture of the sleek new handheld. While it's merely at teaser page at this point (with the only option to sign up for news on the Pre's availablity), the new site should be met with plenty of anticipation from the other side of the Atlantic.
Right now, it's anyone's guess as to which carrier will be the first to have the Pre outside of the US, although sightings of a Pre with a Vodafone SIM card have been made at the MWC 2009. Engadget is quick to point out though, that the stock image on the new site is not that of a GSM Pre. Meanwhile, Palm has confirmed development of a UMTS version of the phone to be used in Europe, although no decision has been made in regards to a carrier.
