Your an idiot, your probably butthurt because verizon charged you for something you should have been overcharged for to begin with lol, first off google has nothing to do with allowing apps on the marketplace or not, hence an OPEN community, it was tmobile first who threw a fit because of the free tethering option and so forth, yes there are ways to do it but it voids terms and conditions on most carriers, which in turn voids the warranty on the phone. Verizon has been waiting for and will embrace a way to tether your phone to the cp, the 30 dollars monthly to have internet on your phone as well as 5g for tethering is a hell of a lot better than buying a seperate air card and paying 60 for 5g of usage..... and secondly, palm wanted a way to sell that phone, releasing it the middle of the uproar of the droid was probably a mistake by itself, the only people who like the phone are palm fanboys and people who want an "entry level" pda.
3rdly, know your facts, Verizon just went over 100m customers and has bought out multiple companies.... a dying company.....please rofl @ you
