The Palm Pre<\/a> is coming to Verizon early next year. We know this<\/a>. But this morning, BGR gives us something new to be excited about: The Pixi's apparently coming to Verizon as well, and both<\/em> models get a (titular?) upgrade.<\/p>

Verizon's lineup, according to BGR's tipster, will consist of the Palm Pre Plus (codenam: Russell) and Palm Pixi<\/a> (codename: Romo), which apparently look exactly like their non-plus predecessors, and will both run the currentl version of webOS, 1.3.5, at launch—a fact that jibes with the previously-announced \"early next year\" launch time, since Palm's been updating the OS at a steady clip.<\/p>

So anyway, what's \"Plus\" about these phones? It could just be change in moniker, engineered by Palm and Verizon to inject a little energy into their existing lineup, but I'd expect something more more substantive: a faster processor, larger battery and in the case of the Pre, reengineered keyboard are all plausible guesses. Whatever it means, please, Palm, please<\/em> don't tell me your CES keynote is just going to be a glorified carrier announcement. Palm needs new hardware. We need new hardware. Hardware! Ungghhhhhhhh. [BGR<\/a>]<\/p>
