It has been almost 2 months since the dummies first arrived at Rogers, but the day has finally arrived. Rogers is set to launch HP’s Palm Pre 2 on Canadian soil today.

Will it do well in a market heavily dominated by the standout favorites? Only time will tell. But launching just in time for the Christmas rush could help drive sales with Q4 coming to an end.

Pricing is a pretty reasonable $99.99 on a 3-year term, and $449.99 off-contract.

You can expect to see updated in the successor to the Palm Pre:

• WebOS 2.0
• 1GHz processor
• and 5MP Camera
• Updated screen and form factor

Expect a full in-depth review of Rogers’ HP Palm Pre 2 in the coming days.
