The Global Certification Forum, a mash-up of networks, manufacturers, and testing agencies has given its stamp to the Palm Pre Plus and the Palm Pixi Plus. As noticed by the:unwired, the two devices passed through the GCF’s all-knowing hands with model numbers we’ve seen and deciphered before: P101UEU and P121UEU. If you require a refresher, P101 is the Pre Plus, P121 is the Pixi Plus, and UEU means UMTS Europe (their American GSM equivalents were appended with UNA).
The certification was sparse on details, though we do have confirmation that the phones will be quadband GSM/GPRS/EDGE and dualband UMTS/HSDPA at 900/2100 MHz, otherwise known as not compatible with AT&T.

What a treasure trove this ROM image has proven to be! Our code demons have been all over this thing, and found numerous references to GSM, GPRS, and UTMS.
In CastleUMTSFirmware Image:
# !!!This File is for Castle(GSM/UMTS) Modem Firmware releases only !!
In /usr/bin/TelephonyInterfaceLayerGsm:
root@castle:/# ipkg files telephonyinterfacelayer1gsm
Package telephonyinterfacelayer1gsm (1.0.0-125) is installed on root and has the following files:
In /usr/lib/luna/CarrierNetworkSettings.db3:
wap.cingular?ISP@CINGULARGPRS.COM 10.1.1.180
http://mmsc.telstra.com:8002
http://mms.singtel.com:10021/mmsc# wap.voicestream.comyhs_nullhs_null 10.128.1.69
http://mms.gprs.rogers.com
In /usr/bin/TelephonyInterfaceLayerGsm:
root@castle:/# ipkg files telephonyinterfacelayer1gsm
Package telephonyinterfacelayer1gsm (1.0.0-125)
And that’s just the beginning. I’m going to be honest, I am in no way a code and really have only a basic understand of what all that gibberish means. But with words like Cingular (i.e. AT&T) and GPRS and GSM and UMTS scattered all over the code, it means only one thing: the Pre and webOS absolutely are coming to GSM. Sure, we’d learned that before in round-about ways, but there’s just something all warm and fuzzy about seeing it in the code.
Thanks to everybody that sent this in, and all those cracking in the forum!
