Palm has just announced that Telefonica’s subsidiaries O2 and Movistar will be the exclusive Palm Pre carriers in four European countries.

More exactly, O2 will sell the Pre in the UK, Ireland and Germany, while Movistar will offer it in Spain.

This confirms all the rumors that we’ve heard until now regarding O2 UK’s Pre exclusivity.

Palm didn’t say when exactly the Pre will hit Europe, but this should happen “in time for the holidays”. Most probably, that means sometime in the fourth quarter of 2009, so it looks like there won’t be any GSM Pre released this summer.

No word yet about the launch of Palm Pre in other European markets than the ones mentioned above. However, it’s highly probable that the WebOS smartphone will reach most of Europe’s countries before the end of 2009.

A few weeks ago, when Samsung unveiled the new Pixon12 M8910 camera phone, it didn’t announce the handset’s price.

Now we’re hearing that, in Spain, the Samsung Pixon 12 will retail for €639 ($897) – probably slightly more than you’d want to pay for an unlocked phone, even if it’s the first in the world to have a 12MP camera.

Most probably, the price of the unlocked Pixon 12 will be similar in other European markets.

Customers in Spain should be able to buy the Samsung Pixon 12 starting late August. In September, the phone will be offered through at least one carrier, so it will cost less when bought with a contract agreement.

Apart from the 12MP camera with autofocus, Xenon flash and 720 x 480 pixels video recording, the Pixon 12 also features HSDPA/HSUPA connectivity, a 3.1 inch AMOLED WVGA touchscreen display, GPS, Wi-Fi and 150MB of internal memory.

Known under various names across Europe (Samsung Preston, Samsung Halley or Samsung Player), the S5600 is offered by Vodafone in a slightly different version and, obviously, with a new name: Samsung Blade.

The Blade appears on Vodafone Spain’s official website, and it seems that it’s already available for purchase – free on select plans.

Samsung Blade has specs similar to the ones of the S5600 (HSDPA, 2.8 QVGA touchscreen display, 3.2MP camera), but its d-pad is different, looking like a precious stone.

Another interesting Samsung phone recently launched by Vodafone is the high-end Jet S8000, which is available only in the UK for the moment.
