According to new reports, Verizon is upgrading their network in preparation for the iPhone in 2010 as well as the Palm Pre.
PhoneArena is reporting that there is a Palm Pre Plus listed in Verizon's internal inventory system, and that it will be available in very early 2010, after Sprint's exclusivity agreement ends.
It is not clear what the "Pre Plus" brings that warrants the "plus," but it is unlikely that the device will be much different than the current Pre.
Additionally, Verizon is "tweaking" their network so it can withstand the high data usage of iPhone users. AT&T users have criticized the carrier unmercifully over dropped calls and slow receiving of emails and text messages through their iPhones. AT&T also has an inferior 3G map, and speeds are lacking.
