Treo 700p: Sprint Sets Pricing & Availability

Any word on if Sprint will require additional fees to use the 700p as a modem? Or will this just require the unlimited data plan (extra $15 month). Thanks all!

Can anyone please shed some light on when and if Palm are planning to launch a GSM version of the Treo 700p. Thanks.

If you use the Treo as a modem:
$39.99 = 40Mb
# A two-year PCS Advantage Agreement is required.
# Additional kilobytes $0.001, unless a Unlimited MB plan is selected.

$49.99 = unlimited

I think thats on top of what you already pay just to have the EvDO service on the treo, so I think you mite pay a ballpark price about $30 give or take, it will depend on what plan you get, I was at sprint checking out the Additional cost for using the Treo 700p as a phone and as a modem.

So I hope they will have a cool plan to have the treo do both for a great price, because if you have to pay $50 for modem + $30 to have the web on the phone you will end up paying $80, but it's to early yet for this, but I would like a good price to able to do both with out going broke using it, at the moment I use my Treo 650 as a modem on my laptop at NO extra cost, It's not the fastest thing, but it's a good backup when there's no wifi around :)

As for the GSM Treo 700p I hear it mite be out by the end of the year .....

The $50(or $40 till 5/21) rate includes both the Power Vision on the phone and the PAM feature. It is more like $15 for the power vision and $25 for the PAM. Plus I think you get the sprint TV and a few other things as well.

Hmmm

The EVDO feature on the phone is definately a big selling point. However, Verizion has a much larger EVDO network than Sprint, at this time.

In my area, Verizion has pretty decent high-speed coverage, but sprint is mostly just baseband speed.

Of course, Sprint phones are compatable with Verizion's network, and when you are out of Sprint coverage, they will use Verizion's service as a backup. You will encure a roaming charge, however, unless your plan includes "off network".

So...

Here's my question:

If you have a sprint plan, with "Off network" calling, and you are in an area, which has Verizion EVDO coverage, as well as Sprint coverage (but only low-speed), will it make use of the Verizion network? Or will it connect through sprint???

What's all this talk about DUN prices when you could just purchase PDA Net and have an unlimited data usage plan. There you go. No monthly charge for Dial Up Networking. Just use PDA Net. Am I wrong?

I think the general concern with the DUN part Blake is people are worried that if they don't get the PAM option that they'll incur the data rate pricing which may greatly increase the monthly bill by more than what the PAM plan costs, even if they use something else.

Basically if the carrier isn't making as much money from the customers as possible (no PAM vs PAM), they'll find some way to get more money. :)

Of course PAM is always good if you want to keep food from sticking to the cooking sheet. :)

Will you be able to get Hotmail on the Treo 700p through Versamail or only through the internet?

When is Verizon going to sell the treo 700p ?

Rich, Verizon announced today that they'll begin selling the Treo 700p in a few weeks: no definite date yet. It'll retail at $400 with the signing of 2-year contract.

I heard from a Sprint associate at a store that the 700w was to come out at the end of this year? Has anyone else heard the same? And, does anybody know if the Sprint 700w will be just like the Verizon version, including the duller display, etc.?

It's been a downer so far as there is little to no help from Sprint in using the 700p as a modem. I'm not happy at this point since I can't get a clear anwswer on how to do it at all? All they tell me is to keep checking back with the www.sprint.com/downloads site for an 'eventual' connection manager update that will include the treo 700p. Grrr.

Sprint rep told me the 700w will be out in August.

Sprint told me today that the Power Vision plan with unlimited data at $15 is incompatible with the Phone As Modem plan, so using 700p as modem kills some nice EVDO features.

I just purchased the Jabra JX10 headset at the recommendation of sales reps however, it is incompatible with the Treo 700 p phone I just purchased. After struggling with it for a time, I called Jabra and they confirmed that this is a problem with many Treo phones. They said that no fix was imminent and that I should return this product. Be forewarned about this problem if you want to avoid frustration and disappointment. Can anyone recommend a comparable small light high quality head set that IS compatible with the Treo 700 p phone?

Does anyone know of a website that lists incompatible software for the new Palm Treo 700p, (Verizonwireless). This Treo is replacing my old Treo 600. My unit has become unstable and I am look to solve the problem. Thanks in advance.

Are sprint treo 700p compatible with jawbone blue tooth head set?

sprint sucks. i have it for my daughter and when she is at the mall it does not let her call or text. we went to a city and it did not let my daughter call. so dont think the new phone is better it sucks. i heard they are going to shut down the co. if they cant get more clients. so dont even trust sprint. i canceled the games and the web cause they were paying me 80 dollors a month. my daughter didnt even use it. now they still pay me even though she never uses it i hate sprint. i called and they hung up on me cause they had to take a break. so cancel your phone service. i am going to after the contract expires and i am going to get att. i already have a account with them and they pay me $40 a month thats good.
