Update: Looks like Sprint's pulled the Treo Pro page from its site already, so they're either not quite ready to hawk it yet or we're looking at the quickest discontinuation in consumer electronics history.
[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]
Make that $349/2-yr contract unless you opt for _approved_ plans which require overkill/overspending, ala iPhone.
Sprint's plans are pretty reasonable, especially with SERO or whatever they are calling it now.
^If you have to game the system to get a fair shake from Sprint, knowing all along that millions of others are not receiving the same treatment, is a standard I cannot lower myself to. Thanks anyway.
Even if you don't game the system they are cheap. Hence the first part of the sentence. A comparable plan on Sprint with unlimited sms / data will probably run $20 less than Att.
^Especially when Sprint forces a phone purchase to carry more low-value "services" than the majority of users consistently use. Just as satellite/cable companies add Starz/Encore/GarbageTV 'service' to the quality movie channel packs to give the false-impression of 'value'. Talk about contractual extortion while simultaneously insulting consumers' intelligence!
Who cares about this phone? When is the Pre gonna be out?!?!?!
Who cares about a webkit-based phone that sports itself as a quasi-infotainment/smartphone, yet has nothing even remotely close to a secure backbone?
I wouldn't mind seeing this phone with the new Palm OS. I love this form factor but Windows Mobile just doesn't cut it compared to BB for me.
The device is supposed to launch this Sunday.
Yes, 1/25/09 is what sprint rep told me. I tried to buy it this morning. LMAO.
