| Carriers and Solutions: | |
| Verizon - generally has the best coverage of all the carriers: See their coverage map here, but they just don't "get it" when it comes to PDA data. PDA's don't gobble data, they "sip" it. A credit card transaction is only 2.5 Kilobytes, and how much browsing can you do on a 2 inch screen? Still, they push their "Unlimited Data Usage" plan at $49.99 per month. Even their 10Mb plan is pricey at $29.99 per month, although that is enough for 4000 transactions! On the bright side, if you buy direct through Verizon- and talk to a manager, you CAN get a 1.5 cent per kilobyte billing plan. That's only about 4 cents per transaction, and you don't pay anything (for data) if you do not do transactions in the month. They make it REAL HARD to get this, you must talk to a Verizon manager, and explain (slowly) that your data needs are around 100K (a TENTH of a ONE Megabyte per month (assuming you do 40 transactions per month). If you are talking to them, you might want to remind them that Sprint has UNLIMITED data for only $15 per month, and they place you on the 1 penny per kilobyte plan just by refusing the $15 per month plan! No questions asked! Verizon is selling the Treo 600 for $249 and the Treo 650 for $399 on a new, 2-year contract, and that's pretty good. | |
| T-Mobile - Something odd is going on here, they have removed the Treo 600 from their website, and are only offering the HP6315! The HP 6315 is the unit they recalled, and exchanged Treo 600's for! Insiders feel that they are getting ready to release the Treo 650! Unfortunately, this means we cannot give you comparative prices on their equipment, but we can give you their coverage maps: See their coverage map here. We can also look at their data plans. All they are currently listing on their site is their Unlimited data at $29.95. This is very reasonable for unlimited data. | |
| Cingular (AT&T) - offers both the Treo 600 (in stores only- price varies), the Treo 650 for $449.99, as well as the Siemens SX-66 for $549.99 with a 2-year contract. Not the best deals, but not bad if you are in a Cingular area. You can see their coverage map here. Cingular DOES offer a "per Kilobyte" data plan! Their "Media NET" packages allow you to tailor a plan perfect for you! You can get prepackaged deals like 1 Mb (Half a Megabyte, good for about 400 transactions) for only $4.99 per month! Definitely a major PLUS in looking to Cingular as your carrier!! | |
|
Sprint - is
still currently the winner, Their unlimited data is only $15 per
month, and you can get their penny per kilobyte data plan just by declining the
$15 per month plan! Their coverage is excellent, see
their map here, which actually lets you drill down to the actual,
individual towers on the street level. For the Pocket PC user, they have
their PPC6601
for only $353.00! They have the widest selection of compatible
PDA's, the lowest cost data services, and their coverage is first class.
If you are looking to change your carrier, Sprint is our #1 recommendation! |
