Just a little correction - Verizon isn't 850Mhz everywhere. It depends on who they bought out in the area or what licenses they were granted. In Wisconsin they're 1900Mhz (well, at least in the non-Alltel areas - not sure about those).
It looks like Dell only released the parts that they're required to under the GPL - so the summary is wrong in saying they released the "total custom Android 1.6 ROM". However, the kernel alone should hopefully help get some custom ROMs started on this thing.

There is already an effort to get the Pre working on Verizon in fact - see here: http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1487090&page=1&pp=15&highlight=palm+pre
