According to a report yesterday by the Guardian, Telefonica-owned O2 has won the exclusive UK distribution rights for the webOS Palm Pre. Palm is expected to confirm the exclusivity by next week. This backs up previous rumors that O2 had bested competitors Vodafone and Orange, and brings the Pre that much closer to Spain and Latin America via Telefonica, and O2 in Ireland.
However, Palm continues to stay tight-lipped about their plans for a GSM version of the Pre, despite a Vodafone SIM being spotted in a Pre at Barcelona in February and other carriers Bell Mobility (Canada) and Teltra (Australia) moving forward on their plans to carry the webOS handset. A couple new sightings of the GSM version have since been reported, this time in Vietnam and London. So at least we know it's out there.
