Three and a half months after they announced the Pre Plus and Pixi Plus were coming to SFR in France, Palm has finally come clean with ship dates: April 27th online and May 11th in stores. One thing they’re not coming clean about: pricing. Last month we saw a survey that suggested we’d see the Pre Plus at 99 € and the Pixi Plus at 49 €. More recently Palm Pre France said they had official pricing that’s a bit better, ranging from 29 € for a subsidized Pixi Plus up to 429 € for a pre-paid Pre Plus.
SFR has a few apps already in the Official App Catalog ready to go at launchL SFR TV, SFR Mon Compte, SFR WiFi, which will allow users to automatically log in on SFR’s WiFi hotspots. Palm Mobile Hotspot will also be on-board for tethering (with additional charges to your data plan).
There’s still a launch party on April 27th and we hope it’s a big one. After waiting this long for Palm and SFR to push these devices out, the people of France certainly deserve it.
