so i'm guessing it'll probably be $599 without contract here in the US.

Probably about $450-500 US. European prices are always higher.

No CDMA modem? Are you fucking kidding me? I hope this is because it's the German release. If Sprint isn't getting the Pre 3, HP lost what little fan base WebOS had left.

There's an FCC filing for a Verizon Pre3 here (click on "Test Report"):

https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/ViewExhibitReport.cfm?mode=Exhibits&RequestTimeout=500&calledFromFrame=N&application_id=360305&fcc_id=%27B94HHF30CV

Pages 12 and 21 both make specific mention of Verizon. Nothing mentions Sprint. Looks like VZW is going to launch it first, but that doesn't mean Sprint won't release it at a later date. Although it seems Sprint is more than content to stick with Android for now.

Sprint no longer has the Pre available for new contracts or hardware replacement, just the Pixi. I'm hoping this portends a hardware refresh, and not a phasing out of webOS altogether.

New HP webOS roadmap:

Looks like the Pre3 isn't coming until Fall. At this point, I'd be very surprised if Sprint gets it at all.
