[LinuxUsers] Palm Pre, Any takers?

[Chris Penn]

It would be one thing if the 3g on the G1 failed to work due to
software with the AT&T 3g network.  The issue with the G1 is hardware,
at least with the current model, and so it will never work with AT&Ts
3g network, or any other carrier using a different frequency,  Sure, I
almost never need 3g, but that could change, and why buy hardware that
doesn't work.    The G1 is the first phone using android, and I am
willing to wait for the correct situation or for the G1 or Pre to come
over to AT&T.

I haven't seen anyone crack a Pre yet...  I wonder if 3g on the Pre
will work with AT&T (wow that rhythms).
