Working for lawyers in their IS department, I have come across the following deal. Frys Electronics - $550 for the Treo 600 (really nice! I am drooling), $150 rebate + $100 rebate. Total - $300. Having not bought it myself, this is what my lawyer friends are telling me as they bring them to me to set up with email access. The provider is Sprint - with unlimited internet for $15/month. I have used them to browse the GC.com site - in color - with graphics. Nice. SD slot for additional memory, built in camera, thumb keyboard, 24mb ram, color. Yes, I am drooling. Is this inexpensive. Not so much. Hope this helps.
