The Palm Pre is considered by many as the one thing that kept Palm from going completely belly up in the year 2009. While it won’t turn the company into an Apple-esque super power overnight, it is at least keeping the lights on. Sadly, CDMA lovers in the U.S. have only one option in which to purchase a Palm Pre: Sprint. However, Cleanser, a member of PreCentral forum, has managed to do the seemingly impossible. He unlocked his Pre and got it up and *mostly* running on Verizon (voice and SMS only for now). Obviously, the hardest part he claims was getting someone at Big V to add his MEID number into the system. The rest was your usual firmware flashes and good ‘ol hacking. Whether or not Palm will get around to spreading the U.S. love anytime soon looks doubtful for the near term. For now you’ll have to make do with the “leak standard” Mr. Blurry Cam appearance.
