The question is: Is the firmware descendant of the PB301 and PB360 firmware, or is it based on PB602 ... 903 firmware?
If the firmware of PB360+ is based on PB360 firmware then all kinds of goodies, such as themes from PB360 might work. If you consider that PB602 ... 903 are manufactured by Foxcon and 360+ is still manufactured by Netronix - just like "good ole'" PB360 was, there is good chance the firmware is backward compatible concerning themes and other stuff. Also the new PRO models PB602 ... 903 have widget interface and PB360PLUS doesn't.
I was trying to get my hands on a review unit of PB360. That was exactly half a year ago, but so far PB360+ has only been sold in USA and Russia and Ukraine. Here in Europe we are still waiting for the PLUS model. I can't understand why European distributor of PocketBook decided to postpone the introduction of the new model for more than 6 months, but I gave up trying. In the meanwhile there have been very interesting models from other manufacturers (such as T1).
I have posted THE very first review of PB360 -
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=61908 (that has been as a #1 result from google for two years when you search for string "PocketBook 360 review"), so I thought I could do well informed review for the PLUS model as well. I was also secretly hoping I might get unit with Doom pre-installed

There are quite a few tricks that might work for the new model.
PB360 has been *extremely* well designed model, software and hardware wise. Even after three years (the firmware began the life as firmware for the PB301!) it has many features that their competitors lack.
