Palm has announced plans to challenge Apple’s popular iPhone device in Canada, by launching its ‘Pre’ smartphone later this month.

The Palm Pre will be sold by Bell Mobility, which has been striving to out-compete larger rival, Rogers Wireless, in the Canadian smartphone market. (Rogers currently has exclusive rights to sell the iPhone in Canada.)

Palm’s new smartphone performed solidly when it was released in the U.S. in June, and has given the struggling PDA pioneer a much-needed boost. It features 3G voice and data capabilities, slide-out QWERTY keyboard, and 3.1-inch touchscreen display.

The Palm Pre will be available in Canada on August 27, starting at $199.95 on a three-year Bell Mobility contract.

    1. This is great. But will the new Palm be compatible with Windows Vista? (Microsoft screwed me royally on that one)
