Palm Pre 2 swims across the English Channel in three days, launches November 12th in the UK

French citizens have been enjoying webOS 2.0 with their morning baguette for over two weeks, but it’s one step closer to home today — Pocket-lint reports that the Palm Pre 2 will launch in the United Kingdom this Friday. What’s more, the 1GHz handset won’t be chained to a British carrier, but rather released into the wild completely SIM-free, which probably means future Just Typists will need to buy it direct from HP . As for the promised pre-orders for US students , we’re sorry to say they’ve failed to materialize; the Facebook page that once clearly stated “preorders begin 11/8″ now simply reads “Palm Pre 2 coming soon.” Soon enough for you?
