Palm Pre GSM available for Pre-Order?

Someone over at the Official Palm Forums have noticed that the Palm Pre GSM ( unlocked??? ) is already available for Pre-Order at the Elite-Electronix Webstore situated in Georgia, USA. This is highly suspicious & sounds like a very a good marketing stunt to attract attention on the part of this store, as neither the Palm Pre nor a GSM version of the Palm Pre has been official launched anywhere else.
