O2 is going to offer the Palm Pre smartphone exclusively in the UK, and it'll be here by Christmas.

Nothing else has been revealed, but there are still a few months before we need to hear about a price and tariffs.

Exciting news that the iPhone will be up against the Pre on the same network, as O2 have confirmed to us that the Pre will not affect how they sell the iPhone.

They've got a video of the device here.
