I’ve written this thread 2 times now, each time resulting in crashes. So, here goes attempt #3. Thanks to some major crackdowns at work, I can no longer check personal email, or occasionally browse the Web. So, I’m considering a convergence device to replace my current setup: An LG PM-325 + Palm T3. I love both devices, but sometimes I wish I just had one. The downsides may outweigh the upsides… 1.) Treo 700p = $499 even after $150 discount which I’m eligible for in December. 2.) The phone still has to connect to the network, just like my Palm does through my phone. I kinda thought it would just always be connected in the background like a cable modem. Silly Pumice. 3.) Not only is the phone crazy expensive, but the monthly service with Power Vision is around $100 / month. Maybe that’s the cost of having internet / email wherever I go. But on the other hand, one device with a keyboard instead of Graffiti would be pretty nice. Anyone know how to get a better price on the phone and/or service? ---

I wonder if Sprinty would offer me a competitive deal. ---

^^ yea it is. The upside though… on the plan i have, it is included which is double the awesomeness 🙂 so i don’t have that extra $20 for the vision. before the plan…i was paying a little over $80 a month for everything which is normal. ---
