These are just sales gimik. Finally be it GPRS, EVDO, MMS, WAP, File sTransfer, etc use internet. They should ideally just say internet @ x rate. They are only trying to make money. If they charge a flat rate then they'll get more users.
Vishal _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of J Messeder Sent: Wednesday, April 11, 2007 10:59 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Treo] Rebates and The Single Most Important Question I'm not certain right now -- but I suspect it will soon be gone -- the company customer service person said the plan I have is not good on Treos and Blackberries. It probably will be morphed for other users, too, since the IM-ers and MMS-ers they're targeting over there would actually end up with similar data needs as the business users with Treos and Blackberries that do email and file swapping. BTW, the young sales person at the Cingular store (as opposed to the one on the phone) said the Treo is not a Smartphone. Smartphones get the $19.99 data plan, but the reason it's not available on the Treo is because it's not a Smartphone. I thought that was curious, but then I decided when Smartphones came out as a class of devices, she was still drawing sustenance from, well, someting other than a glass tumbler.
