Palm’s Pre Plus and Pixi Plus phones are ready to show Verizon Wireless customers some webOS love starting today, but how good are they? The Pre Plus has double the storage space (16GB) and RAM for the same price as the original Pre ($149). The Pixi Plus, an update of the Pixi, now has Wi-Fi and debuts on Verizon for $99.99. Both devices have the ability to be used as mobile hotspot using a new app. It’s essentially data tethering for up to 5 devices at once. Verizon charges $40 a month for this service on top of the $29.99 monthly data plan for the phone itself.

If you and your significant other are both longing for true multitasking and the clean webOS interface, you’re in luck– Verizon is currently running a “Buy a Pre Plus, get a Pixi Plus free” promotion. Intrigued? Check out our full reviews of the Palm Pre Plus and the Palm Pixi Plus.
