Alltel rolls out Palm Treo Pro

Alltel is set to play catch up with both Bell and Sprint with news today of its Palm's Treo Pro launch. Pricing is listed on the Alltel page at $519 less a $195 online discount and $125 mail-in rebate which settles this handset's price down to $199. Nice to see Alltel at least matching Sprint's offering, as our northern neighbor's price on Bell -- for the same term -- is about $300. If you've been waiting for something new on the Alltel Windows Mobile front, we'd hazard a guess this just may be it.

Let's see if this old dog has one last hunt in it before Ol' Yeller is taken behind the shed.

How is bluetooth still a "feature" ??

[From My Cube Posted Mar 5th 2009 1:43PM]

because Apple made "removeable battery" a feature

Wifi???

[Dorf Posted Mar 5th 2009 1:39PM]

Did you read the linked article?

[(Unverified) Posted Mar 5th 2009 3:04PM]

Who cares about WiFi, I don't see why people make such a huge deal out of it. If you have unlimited data why even bother putting the feature in? The past few phones i had WiFi on i probably used it twice in a 3 year span.

[(Unverified) Posted Mar 5th 2009 3:12PM]

What the?!!!u only used wifi 2 times in 3 years ,. What a dee dee deee!!!insane I surf wifi daily at 10-15 mbps. Must suck to browse at dial speeds on a cell.

If Verizon owns Alltel now, why can't I buy this?

[(Unverified) Posted Mar 5th 2009 3:10PM]

You can't buy it because you're in a divested market. Now go lay down...

[(Unverified) Posted Mar 5th 2009 2:30PM]

It would probably be a better choice to wait for the pre to be released. Escpecially now that we know it will support flash.

[Dubb Posted Mar 5th 2009 2:32PM]

It's almost like there are no browsers on Windows Mobile that support Flash...

WHERE IS THE PRE??? GRrrrrrrr!!

[(Unverified) Posted Mar 5th 2009 3:07PM]

Well, I think we have one thing for certain...



It isn't in this article.

[scotter Posted Mar 5th 2009 4:22PM]

Doesn't verizon own alltell now?
so could verizon people get in on this?

[(Unverified) Posted Mar 5th 2009 10:22PM]

'bout time. This thing has been on the Alltel website for a while now.

[(Unverified) Posted Mar 8th 2009 1:16AM]

Really who is going to buy this with the Pre coming out. Why is Palm putting out anything besides the Pre?
