HP confirmed that WebOS phones would be hitting the market in early 2011 and it looks like the first Europe-bound one has just been spotted. Being tested at the FCC was the P102UEU smartphone and this could be headed to Europe as the Pre 2. Of course, North American models should be on the way as well. The big rumour going around is that this will actually be the Pre 2 and it should, of course, come with the new version of WebOS (2.0).

An update in Engadget's post mentions that this smartphone that the FCC tested is another slider so it should have a QWERTY keyboard of some sort. On the back there's an 1,150mAh battery (which is the same as the Pre / Pre Plus). The back cover of this smartphone is also said to be the same so it'll be Touchstone compatible (wireless charging for the win). The best part about all of this is that the CPU is said to be clocked at 1GHz. The exact chip is unknown right now but it could be TI's OMAP3600 Series which you can find in the DROID X and DROID 2. Sweet! Check it out at the FCC.

Update: According to The Unwired, this handset has just been approved by the GCF as well. It's the exact same model which has bands for Europe.
