While webOS users around the world have enjoyed GSM versions of the Pre and Pixi, US users haven't been so lucky. If you want a Pre (Plus) or a Pixi (Plus), you're stuck with CDMA. According to AllThingsD's John Paczkowski, AT&T still plans to carry the devices, but Canaccord Adams analyst Peter Misek is reporting that the launch has been pushed back from the rumored April date to June or July.
Apparently, the issue stems from AT&T having a "long list of technical issues with the Pre and Pixi," and the company has decreased its initial order size and webOS marketing budget as a result. Bad news for Palm, and given that they report their quarterly earnings tomorrow evening, it concerns me. Then again, the release dates, order sizes, and marketing budget numbers are all rumors, so take it with a grain of salt until Palm and/or AT&T confirm them.
AT&T customers, how do you feel? Excited about the prospect of webOS?
