You wanna target the younger demographic? Lower your fuckin' data plan costs. I want EV-DO for my laptop so bad, but I don't have $50 to shell out every month. That's outrageous.
Verizon, Sprint, AT&T and even T-MOBILE - listen up. For the future Blackberry generation here, LOWER YOUR DATA COSTS!
sprints pda data pricing is $15. your argument is not only misplaced but its pretty weak to begin with
as for the pictures, its clear theres a treo logo on the top left of the smaller version. if this is truly not going to be a treo then perhaps we still havent seen the real version
My grievance that I'd have to spend $50 for unlimited laptop ev-do? And where are you pulling the $15 plan from? Hell, my texting and mobile web comes to that.
The point I'm making is, Blackberrys, Treos, iPhones and MDAs are a great product for the 15+ demographic, however, the data plan pricing, especially when factoring in tethering to a laptop (which is what I need), is outrageous!
Sprints Data plans (for phones) IS just 15/mo dollars for unlimited usage. It's one of those add-on things when buying a new phone and calling plan. It does not include messaging however (IIRC).
oh really? that's definitely not too bad then. is tethering too much more? cause if not, then I might just be looking into sprint :) thanks for owning my ass
nah, I've looked at it so far, but as I said in the comments a little farther down, at the price its a great deal, though how shady is the tethering and how reliable?
AT&T's unlimited data plan for the iPhone is a mere $20. Although at this time the iPhone does not function as a modem for a notebook computer. I find that I don't need that, the iPhone is doing a pretty good job, esp for a version 1.0 product

Sprints page (http://nextelonline.nextel.com/NASApp/onlinestore/en/Action/DisplayPlans?filterString=Data_Plan_Filter&id12=Shop_StartPlans_Link_DataPlans) while they do offer the cheapest of data plans.... is still nowhere near $15. It's $50. (40MB a month is a joke).

I have a T-mobile plan and I pay 20 USD a moth for unlimited data, and tethering is free.
for what phone?
Guess you haven't heard of those Sprint SERO plans.
