The video above shows everyone how the Palm Pre has already been hacked in order to make it work with a Verizon Wireless SIM card. It’s not exactly an unlocked device since the hacker only managed to get voice and SMS working on Verizon. Data is still a problem:

Only problem is that I can’t get data to work. Apparently webOS is checking to see if the device is provisioned or not before allowing a data session to take place. So my next step would be to somehow bypass this provisioning check.

So hackers around the webOS world, it seems that a full unlock of the Pre is just waiting around the corner. Or you could always wait for Verizon to start selling the Pre, which should happen sometime next year.
