Plam Pre hacked to run on Verizon

Computers & Mobile Technology

Here’s a short video from PreCentral user Cleanser showing off his Palm Pre hacked to run on Verizon’s network. It’s not perfect. Apparently the data portion isn’t working, but at least it’s a start.

Only problem is that I can’t get data to work. Apparently webOS is checking to see if the device is provisioned or not before allowing a data session to take place.
So my next step would be to somehow bypass this provisioning check.
