The HP Pre 3 has been a long time coming but now it has arrived for sure. Earlier this week, Orange added the HP Pre 3 to its website as coming soon yet no date was given for when it could be purchased.

So seven months after it was announced by Palm ( now owned by HP ) it finally arrives on Palm's Eurostore with a note saying that it will arrive with you up to 2 days after you order one.

It's the SIM free version on offer via Palm and it costs £299 to get the very latest webOS smartphone. The HP Pre 3 comes with  a 3.58 inch touch screen, 1.2 GHz dual-core processor, 512MB of RAM and 8GB of on-board memory. The HP Pre 3 also has a  5 mega-pixel camera and a sliding QWERTY keyboard as well as  supporting both WiFi and 3G.

Currently, Orange is the only 3G mobile operator to include the HP Pre 3 in its portfolio. More on the HP Pre 3 here.
