Palm Pre: Available in Canada

Aug 27 2009, 10:30am CDT | by Robert Evans

Between the freezing cold and the dangerous snow Yetis, life in Canada can be pretty hard. Today, however, we've got a spot of good news for our neighbors to the north. The Palm Pre is available now in stores all across your country (thanks Boy Genius) From Ottawa to Saskatchewan, every Bell store, Best Buy, and other fine gadget shop will be able to hook you up with a Palm Pre for the not-low-but-not-overly-gouged price of $199.95.

That price assumes a 3-year contract. If you don't want to sign on for thirty-six months with the same phone, you can always buy the Pre outright for $599.95. Bell does still require you to subscribe to a minimum 500MB data plan, however. If this sounds like the smartphone deal of your dreams, you can either brave the frozen tundra to get to a Bell store, or just visit their website here.
