Bell Canada has just launched a new campaign for a free Palm Pre. The contest details are leading to some speculation about eventual retail pricing and a possible Canadian release date.

The fine print of the contest rules (.pdf link) contains some interesting hints. The full MSRP of the Pre is listed at $650 Canadian monetary units, which would be somewhat close to its US counterpart at $550. Also detailed are the contest ending and drawing dates which are August 31st and Sept. 7th respectively. While nothing is certain, the timeframe lends some additional credence to a fall release.

Thanks to PreCentral for the tip.
