Remember that FCC filing for a GSM-loving North American Palm Pre? Looks like the mystery’s been solved, Encyclopedia Brown, and our culprit is just south of the border. As previously rumored, Mexico’s Telcel will get the Pre, SIM card slot and all. Launch date is November 27th, just in time for the US to be thankful for an online community ready to unlock and import this stateside.
[Thanks, Andres]

At some point, though, it became clear that the industry was moving toward touch — a space RIM had never dabbled in — and the trend gave birth to the Storm, a product that had obviously been rushed to market with countless software bugs and a dodgy SurePress concept that caused more problems than it solved.
