<div class='os_post_top_link'><a href='http://www.attwireless.com/personal/products/phonedetails.jhtml?id=400158&titleNumber=8' target='_blank'>http://www.attwireless.com/personal...8&titleNumber=8</a><br /><br /></div>Check this deal out -- you can now get a Siemens SX56 Pocket PC Phone (a HTC OEM unit) for only $99 with a new contract.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/parekh-20040122-SX56.jpg" /><br /><br />The SX56 is no longer a "new" unit -- in fact, it's a bit long in the tooth, with a 206MHz StrongARM processor and a reflective display -- but it's still a perfectly useable device. I have a number of coworkers still using the OEM HTC Pocket PC Phone, and they find it immensely useful. And at this price, it might just be the ticket for those of you who have been looking for a deal before jumping into Pocket PC Phone-land. 8)

amazon.com had these for $79! a couple of months ago with rebates...

the problem with AT&T is they screw you with their high priced data plans...

Great for the first timer getting their feet wet,but 206 MHZ is too slow for me. . . .

And I agree with the above comment. Who wants to be locked in with AT&T for two years?

I already had an ATT phone. Moved my Mmode to the sx56, and bought the SPB gprs monitor to not blow the bank on data charges. Its a nice machine. :) I knew no sdio or cf cards up front, so its ok.
