With 2 of the greatest Palm devices in history, the Palm Pre and Pixi Plus are ready for taking on Big Red’s website. Oh, and don’t forget that buy one get one free offer where you buy a Pre PLus and get a Pixi Plus free. Anyone interested? [Verizon Wireless]
Whichever Android firmware version the Eris is getting, it’s good. According to BGR, Verizon has announced that in Q1 2010, the Droid Eris will get a firmware update that will let it run Google Maps Navigation. Since Google Maps Nav can run on all firmware 1.6 and up, no one knows which version it will run. Good news nevertheless.

Now this is some outcome, isn’t it? No more court dates, no more attacks, nothing more. Just a calm landscape between AT&T and Verizon; so don’t expect to see Luke Wilson staring into your face, pleading that AT&T has the better network. Or maybe we will see more of him? (Cringe on that thought). Now somebody get moving with your network to claim the “Most Reliable 3G Network” award (and tagline) so something like this doesn’t happen again. In the meantime, this is done.
This is the true declaration of war between AT&T and Verizon Wireless. As many of you have heard, AT&T filed a lawsuit against Verizon claiming that Verizon’s “There’s a Map for That” ad misleads customers into thinking AT&T’s 3G coverage sucks, which is actually true. In return, Verizon released 3 more ads mocking AT&T once again. Now things have reached boiling point, and here’s Verizon’s introduction:
AT&T did not file this lawsuit because Verizon’s “There’s A Map For That” advertisements are untrue; AT&T sued because Verizon’s ads are true and the truth hurts.
The truth does hurt, and that’s probably hurting AT&T right now. Here’s another part of the legal docs that Big Red filed:
In the final analysis, AT&T seeks emergency relief because Verizon’s side-by-side, apples-to-apples comparison of its own 3G coverage with AT&T’s confirms what the marketplace has been saying for months: AT&T failed to invest adequately in the necessary infrastructure to expand its 3G coverage to support its growth in smartphone business, and the usefulness of its service to smartphone users has suffered accordingly.
Verizon looks like they are thinking alot about the consumer from the above statement. Check out all 53 documents over at Engadget.
