Treo 650 For $199 At Office-max - Treo Forums

RIGHT NOW YOU CAN GET A TREO 650 FOR $299 AT OFFICEMAX RETAILERS & RECIEVE A $100 CREDIT TO YOUR ACCOUNT WHEN ACTIVATED. THE PLAN IS THRU EARTHLINK WHO PARTNERED WITH SK WIRELESS. I DONT KNOW OF ANY OTHER THREADS REPORTING THIS, IS EVERYONE IN THE DARK? THIS SEEMS LIKE SUCH MAJOR NEWS, BUT THEN AGAIN I GUESS EVERYONE ALREADY HAS THEIR 650 RIGHT?:rolleyes:
IM NOT KEEN ON EARTHLINKS WIRELESS SERVICE, THEY DON'T HAVE MANY OF THE FEATURES OF DIFFERENT PROVIDERS, BUT WITH UNLIMITED DATA USAGE FOR $29.95, THIS HAS GOT TO BE WORTH INVESTIGATING.

LET ME KNO WHAT YOU GUYS THINK.

The Treo 650 has been available in our store for $199 since July 1st - and that's with Verizon.

I've been wondering about Earthlink's dive into this area as well... although when I was looking at their service they were charging $450 for the Treo and $19.95 a month for unlimited data. Seems like they changed their pricing strategy.

Does anyone know exactly what carrier(s) they piggyback off of? Last I knew it was only Sprint's network which doesn't work well in my area.

ACTUALLY, THE BASE PRICE OF THE UNIT IS $299, BEFORE REBATES. THIS WAY YOU SAVE A FEW HUNDRED FROM THE JUMP, THEN, YOUR 2ND BILL WILL BE CREDITED WITH $100 WHEN YOU ACTIVATE IT WITH EARTHLINK. THIS WOULD BE GREAT FOR THOSE WHO WANT THE 650 FOR THEIR CURRENT CARRIER, BUT DON'T WANT TO PAY THE $599 FOR THE UNLOCKED VERSION, BUT I RESEARCHED IT & UNFORTUNATELY, THE DEVICE IS LOCKED OUT TO EARTHLINK ONLY.

AND TO ANSWER THE OTHER QUESTION, IN ADDITION TO SPRINT, EARTHLINK ALSO USES VERIZON'S SYSTEM WHILE ROAMING.
