Hey, who said Verizon will be picking the webOS-powered Palm Pre early next year? We can see it’s already working right here in the video below! Okay, you got us, that is just one unit, hacked by a user at the PreCentral forums. Currently, the Verizon-loving Pre is only capable of voice calls and texting, since webOS seems to be performing a check to see if the phone is running the way it should be, and thus it does not allow a data session. The work is still going on though, so a patch that fully unlocks the Pre’s capabilities and makes it usable with another carrier might be right around the corner. Fingers crossed!
