It's $550 with a two-year contract.

Hold down the SEND button while you're in a call--this will turn on the speakerphone.

You know, $100 doesn't seem that much of a discount for a 2yr contract, then again I don't know what's a normal discount rate these days for locked phones with contract...

Jason, can you confirm this sponsor deal? The discount doesn't show up, unless one clicks on the link provided by sxt1773 (and even then it's not an even $50 discount, which is why I wanted to make sure this is the correct deal?). Trying to check out shows free shipping, but no mention of the speakers?

Anyways, from what I recall Qtek is HTC's new self-brand correct? Will they provide timely ROM updates and support? Can we just use Carrier Devices/i-Mate's updates? Can we assume anything we buy now will already have the latest updates such as the Bluetooth fix (in case it's hard to get them later)?

Default re- speakerphone

In order to activate speakerphone on any Windows mobile device, you press and hold the green dial key on the pad for about 3 seconds. To deactivate, you press and hold the key for 3 more seconds.

Hope this helps.

sxt.

Default looks like you cause a price review...

seems AGB have taken the point and brought the price down with the promotional code further.

Press and Hold the green phone button for about four seconds and it will go into speakerphone mode. :-)
