Good news, UK folk! You’re getting the Pre sooner than previously thought! Well, only slightly. Last we’d heard, Brits were going to have to wait until right around Christmas before getting their hands on Palm’s wunderkind.

MyPre has it on good word that the date is now set for October 30th, which pushes it well outside of the Christmas rush. It’s still pretty dang late, coming in just shy of 5 months after the US release – but it could be a whole lot worse.

The tipster didn’t get too specific about price, but did say that both the device cost and the monthly bill should come in around the same price as the iPhone 3GS.
