Get The Nokia 3650 Free In The US!
Given the Nokia 3650 is such a cool phone and, in my opinion, a vital Pocket PC accessory if your PPC supports bluetooth, I thought I'd post this. The 3650 paired with my iPAQ 2215 kept me up to date on all of the happenings at this site and elsewhere when I was out of town this past week. So much so that between Sunday afternoon and Thursday afternoon upon returning I burned through a healthy 15MB of data over GPRS! 8O The actual bit count was probably higher but T-Mobile does some compressing to both enhance speed and keep traffic down.
They have various plans and deals with AT&T Wireless and T-Mobile and prices range from free to $49.95. [Affiliate]

gprs info
I thought that T-mobiel was still offering the unlimited gprs for 19.99 per month. I found out about it at pda.buzz. Have you checked to see that so that you arent going over your limit???????????

Unfortunately, the plans require new service activation. I hate that... I already have T-Mobile and don't want to switch carriers. The Nokia 3650 is a cool phone though.

Assuming that you're beyond the 1st year commitment, isn't it true that you can take advantage of these deals if you're willing to recommit (to your current plan) for another year? I haven't done this myself, but I seem to remember hearing this could be done.

I don't think Amazon supports renewals, although you do get a bit of a discount if you've been a T-Mobile subscriber for some time if you call T-Mobile.

PDABuzz? We had that here at http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/foru...c.php?p=121029 on the front page within minutes of T-Mobile launching it. :wink:
Yea, I am on that plan and really don't care much about bits anymore but it was still interesting to see how much data I transferred during those 4 days. I am pretty sure had I still been on the $20/10MB plan, I wouldn't have checked email as often.

Ah, I'm pretty sure you're right!! At the very least, I *think* the T-Mobile rebate ($100 for the 3650) could apply if you ask them.

Still waiting for AT&T Wireless to come through with the $20 unlimited GRPS plan. Apparently they have an unpublicized $99 unlimited plan, but that's way too much.
I can't wait until number portability commoditizes cell phone providers. Come on November 24...

Just be careful and selective if you intend to use this phone with a BT headset as well. The Jabra will work but you have to get one that is specific to this Nokia phone as we have a couple customers that have purchased the standard Jabra Freespeak and they do not work together!
If you are looking for features like these on the 3650 in a more compact size may i suggest you look at the Sony t610 :lol:

Help!
I have been checking Amazon.com every few days since T-Mobile announced their unlimited GPRS plan. So far, I've yet to find out how I can order both a Bluetooth phone (either the Nokia or the T68i) from Amazon and get the $29.99 plan (no voice, just minutes), or even the $19.99 plan that requires a voice plan. I just checked again, and the Nokia phone is $50 and the only "unlimited" option is something called "T-zones" for $9.99.
T-Mobile's web site has the correct plan options, but they don't offer the T68i anymore and the Nokia is $199! 8O
I have been dreaming of a Bluetooth phone for a great price for months - could someone please show me how to do this? I'm usually a lot better at troubleshooting stuff like this...  ops:
