Palm’s new smartphone, the Pre, will be available in the U.K., Ireland, and Germany in time for the holiday shopping season, thanks to an exclusive deal with British wireless giant, O2.

The Palm Pre, which became available in the U.S. last month, is now in a good position to compete with Apple’s popular iPhone device, according to industry analysts.

“The Pre is a really impressive phone and the most serious challenger to the dominance of the iPhone,” commented Kat Hannaford, news editor of T3, a British gadget magazine. “It comes at a great time as many users’ iPhone contracts will be coming up for renewal in time for Christmas, and they might be disappointed that the new iPhone looks exactly the same as the old one.”

In addition the the O2 deal, Palm also plans to launch the Pre in Spain and Canada later this year, through agreements with Movistar and Bell Mobility, respectively.
