Pocket PC Phone - $299 with activation!
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/stores/detail/-/wireless/B00006IIRQ/jasondunn-20
(affiliate link) Wow! Free shipping, Pocket PC 2002 Phone and your favorite PDA site gets a little help when you buy this. This price is just too good to pass up. If you already have one, buy a second one as a backup. Buy them for friends and family. Buy one and make a Christmas ornament out of it.  Thanks to pt for the link.

WOW! What's the catch???
(For me the catch is that I live in the UK and can't get one of these myself. But, it's tempting, very tempting to get a US friend to get me one and ship it to me. Ah - is this a dual-band US version only?)

Too bad those of us who already have one/already have a Voicestream contract can't get this price. Voicestream will not allow you to extend your current contract as a substitute for a "new" one...believe me, I've tried.

OK - it's a GSM phone but you need a US contract. OK - bad catch for me. Back to the drawing board. :?

A little silly
Buy one for your friends and family, use one as an ornament, and buy one as a backup.
Is 300 bucks plus a monthly fee that cheap? Dont get me wrong, it is a great price, but to make it sound like it is the deal of the century is a little exaggerated.
Just my daily rant!

In the time you spent posting that message you could have ordered one. :wink:
I was being a bit sarcastic. $300 is a great price, but I don't expect you to buy one for each member of your entire family. Just your immediate family. :wink: :lol:

Son of a b****! I just switched from Sprint to Voicestream last Friday and paid $100 for a Samsung N105. If I had known about this rebate, I could have gotten a Sony T68i for the same amount. They only give a 72 hour trial period, so I can't cancel and start new. How very disappointing.

Wow
Hi
This is some deal. In the UK the current price has just been reduced from �499 to �399. Question is can you buy one and replace the SIM card with the SIM from your existing phone. I suspect that the device is locked to the specific US phone company. Why oh why can the US sell stuff like this half the price of stuff in the UK. The Toshiba e310 is selling for �299 yet on Amazon I think it is $270.
