Finally someone posted a review of the Palm Plus phones from Verizon and their free wifi hotspot -http://rvinternetaccess.com/full-time-rver-reviews-palm-pre-plus-mobile-hotspot-service/. It works and the wifi hotspot service is free on top of the $30/month data plan for each phone.

Downsides to me are no external antenna ports on these phones (but that is true of most phones these days), more limited software than Android or iPhone (if they sell enough the software will come), and if you get a phone call your internet pauses during the call (an artifact of the current Verizon technology). But for many these phones will work great and lots of people think Palm, who is now owned by HP, has done a great job on usability.
