Los Angeles times reported that Verizon will allow tethering up to five users via wifi. Pixie on Verizon is plus because it will be able to use Wifi. Pre is plus on Verizon because it will have the option of having 16gb. Pixie on Verizon is plus because it will be able to use Wifi. __________________ Th-55 U, T/X, TG-50, Handspring Deluxe (3) and PSP user. Last edited by philpalm : 01-11-2010 at 10:32 AM.

scottl Apt? Yes, it can do that! Join Date: Sep 2005 Location: CT, USA Posts: 743	The Plus models also come with the TouchStone compatible back cover out of the box and there are new colors for the Pixi. I haven't heard if the Plus models will be used at AT&T. I hope Sprint gets a these (or better) models this summer. The Pre has finally made it to the featureset that make it acceptable for me to buy as a replacement to my Treo 755p. I still wish they'd add microSD and better PIM apps - like the ones they used for POS, but I know that's not going to happen.
