GSM Palm Pre to launch on Telcel in Mexico, feature storage expansion?
Well, this is interesting: we’d been under the impression that Telefonica had pretty much wrapped up a global exclusive on the GSM Palm Pre under the O2 and Movistar brands, but here we are, looking at two videos which claim that the Pre will launch in Mexico under rival América Móvil’s Telcel label. That’s certainly interesting — and even more intriguingly, we’re told that the gentlemen in this video are discussing storage expansion slots on the Pre, which is basically like having a conversation about Santa winning the Super Bowl in terms of Things That Are Real. Did Telcel just manage to pull the rug out from under Movistar and land what could be the best Pre of them all? We’re on pins and needles, here. Videos after the break — and if anyone wants to leave a better translation for us in comments, we’re all ears.

Screen Grabs: Palm Pre isn’t helping things be any less miserable on ‘Heroes’

Hey — it’s the Palm Pre hanging tough in the morally ambiguous hands of Nathan Petrelli! Does it help him decide who to crush or love when he gets up in the morning? Does it get reception when he flies into the upper atmosphere to change world events so dramatically that half the characters are confused and the other half have disappeared by the time he’s back in NYC? What’s going on, Nathan? You seem depressed. You want to go with a different carrier, don’t you? Got a hankering for the GSM?
[Thanks, Dylan]

Palm Pre coming to Spain on Telefonica on October 14
The European operators are really liking mid-October for their Pre launches, and that trend continues now that Spain’s Telefonica has unveiled an October 14 availability date for Spain’s very first webOS device. The phone’s being offered on plans that will bring the cost of the handset itself down to anywhere between €0 and €219 (about $322) — and if you’re wondering exactly what you have to do to get it for absolutely free, well, you’ll be shelling out €60 or more a month in voice plus €15 in data. You’ll be able to pick it up both online and in your friendly local Telefonica shop, so it’ll be interesting to see if any lines start forming — just how many Palm fanatics are their in Spain, anyway?

GSM Palm Pre for O2 Germany pictured in the wild
The Palm Pre is scheduled to make its big GSM debut on O2 in Europe in just a few weeks, and it looks like final production units are making their way into the wild — these shots of a German Pre complete with final box art and a localized keyboard just hit the wires. Nothing here you’re not familiar with already, but man — the GSM and the Pre, gettin’ down. We’d only dared to dream, you know? Now all we need is a version with some North American 3G bands and we’ll be all set.

The Palm Pre showed up on a recent episode of Numb3rs, and we can only assume that confused look on Charlie’s face is the simplistic calculator that ships stock with webOS. Or could it be something much more sinister?
[Thanks, Marshall]
