The Treo 300 is the most popular
replacement for the Palm VIIx

  To recap last week's news.. On July 30th, Palm (PalmOne Corp.) announced that it will be ceasing operations of Palm.net on August 31, 2004.  Palm.net is the wireless service that is used by the Palm VII, Palm VIIx, and Palm i705 PDA's for their wireless services. See Palm's notice here.

Needless to say, we were shocked that Palm would make a decision affecting tens, if not hundreds of thousands of businesses.  When AT&T and Verizon decided to stop providing their CDPD service (the old analog service), they were required to provide 2 YEARS notification!  

Why would Palm do this?  We have no idea.  Their stock is almost triple what it was a year ago, and every major wireless carrier is selling their newest PDA, the TREO 600.  All we know is that thousands of business will be scrambling to replace their wireless hardware.

I have a Palm VII, what can I do about it?  Well, we have some options for you.  Your Pocket Merchant card reader and printer will work with dozens of wireless PDA's, changing only the $10 cable (plus shipping).

We sell the Sprint TREO for only $200, but we will 'credit' existing Palm VIIx customers the full $50 you paid for the Palm VIIx ($349 system, less the $299 for the Pocket Merchant) toward the TREO 300, making the upgrade price only $150!

Since we announced the demise of the Palm.net service (see last week's newsletter), we have been swamped with questions and requests for the TREO 300.  These were built and sold BEFORE Palm purchased Handspring, so those of you who are angry at Palm can purchase these knowing Palm doesn't get a cent.

The Treo 300 uses the Nationwide high-speed Sprint Vision Network. You will need to call Sprint and activate a new number, or have an existing Sprint number moved to this unit. Charges will be dependent on the number of voice minutes, and the plan you select.  Sprint has a deal where you DO NOT pay a fixed amount for data, just 1 cent per kilobyte.  A credit card transaction (with signature) is only 2 to 3 kilobytes!
