The second paragraph of HP Palm’s announcement of the Palm Pre 2 offers a bit of interesting news: this the “first device to run webOS 2.0″ will be available in France from SFR and then in the next few months from Verizon and in Canada.

SFR, a well-known French carrier, is also one of the first carriers in Europe to sell Windows Phone 7 handsets.

We knew the Pre 2 would come to Verizon thanks to leaked screenshots of the internal Verizon training system. Considering the Pre first appeared on Sprint, it’s an interesting lateral move.
