300 minutes voice/data? Is there an unlimited plan? I was going to get a
pdQ but I couldn't find any answers on either Sprint or Qualcomm's site as
per pricing and availability at the time (last month). So I went to
goamerica and ordered a Minstrel III. Got it next-day. I like it a lot, and
I use it often (umm at least 4 hrs/day; stock quotes & trading etc).
I find the Minstrel III to be a good value, but a little cheap feeling; i.e.
battery tang snapped off and the unit is a little creaky because of thin
plastic. Tremendous value for me though.
