Well I have seen them going for free as well. It is a "newbie" phone it was design to compete with the regular cell phone market. i.e. raxor. So I'm not surprised if they are really cheap. I do warn thought some sites might be fakes. I recommend palm, ET, Treocentral, mytreo, and so others. I recommend looking for any feed back about the site before you purchase from thier. To make sure it is not a fake.
1) warranty is a year I think insurance is automactically denied but could be wrong.
2) No you would not just pop in your sim chip and your good to go.But to get the phone free you probably have to sign up for a brand new two year paln. But you porbably could get the phone for $50 without the need of a new plan.
3)Well I don't know how it works on cingular but with verizon I can change my plan when ever without any extra fees like "you changed your paln fee".
4) Not that I know of but try reading the forums or reviews and see if they state that. (I think that has stopped)
5)No as stated before it is more of an intro phone. So to get people who never used palm os/ treos. |
