The webOS fever has hit North of the Border, with Bell Mobility becoming the first carrier of the Palm Pre outside the US. Canadian developers will now have the right tools at their disposal, many with fresh memories of PreDevCamp (which included camps in Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver).
From the initial announcement, Palm has taken their first international debut of the Pre seriously, with widespread distribution among retailers including Best Buy, Future Shop, Costco, The Telephone Booth, Wal-Mart, Wireless ect. and Wireless Wave. The new ad campaign is also in full swing, with the first Bell-Pre TV spot (below) airing about a week before launch.
A new "Meet my Palm Pre" series is also being shown around the web, with a guy in an orange tie bringing the new smartphone to various people on the streets. Check out the first three webisodes after the break. Nothing you haven't seen before, but Pre fans who like these kinds of "reality TV" ads might get a kick out of it.
UPDATE: Three more episodes added, check out all six episodes below!
