-----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of marechaux1757 So (as all of you understand!) I love my Treo. But there are a number of places I visit that don't allow a cameraphone, and a growing number of places that don't allow any sort of wireless capability. But they *do* allow a basic cell phone. While I hate to be without my palm, I feel virtually naked without my cell.
Unless you work for some highly sensitive military or national security agency or a law firm or whatever other "big brother watching" outfit, I am yet to see a single case of not allowing me to bring my 650 in. Is this your situation? Then it sucks :o( Do they actually check the phone physically? Is this in your contract that you cannot bring it in or the terms of use of the facilities? Also, if you have a case over it, the camera in 650 is covered by it, but I am sure that the people checking are smart enough to open the case and see as there are not that many smart phones out there and they know their looks and features. I visit a lot of title companies, real estate offices, court houses, airports, mortgage companies - nobody ever checked and asked. This has been in like 10-11 years I've been in real estate, but again, everyone's situation is different and I can see your point. How about switching to T-Mobile, you then can have two phones and switch your SIM card. You will get a phone with a new plan for free. I wouldn't recommend Cingular because T-Mobile has superior plans. You will however, forget your Treo at home one day when you need it and you already swapped the SIM card, you'll leave it in the car in the hot weather an the screen will explode in the heat or something, it will fall behind the seat and someone will step on it and break it - so be careful when you sub the card and e the phone safe. But even if you bring regular phone in how can they tell you do not have a wireless plan on it? How about SMS? SMS doesn't show an active connection? Also, you can shut down the internet connection on regular phone and then reactivate it? This is basically the same as e-mail? This makes no sense to me. They use the same frequency anyway, security staff will not even know where to look on the phone for the wireless feature as there are hundreds of phone models. Or do they have some high tech way of detecting the frequency and data transfer when you use it? I doubt it unless it's a super duper secretive organization.
