You remember the Pre3, right? The phone announced alongside the Touchpad and the Veer? The one that fans ignored the Pre2 for, because it was going to be so much better? The one that was supposed to come out Summer of 2011<\/a>, which has two whole weeks left? The one that hasn’t shown up on any US carrier’s upcoming device leaks?<\/p>\n If you forgot, I don’t blame you. There are days it feels like HP has forgotten about the device. Yet suddenly, here it is on sale in Europe<\/a>. No press release, no announcement, no hands-on time for the press.\u00a0 Months and month of disappointing foreplay culminating in a blink-and-you-miss-it release.<\/p>\n
