Motorola MPx200 for only $29.95 on Amazon.com
If you live in the US and are willing to sign up for an AT&T service plan, you can get the awesome Motorola MPx200 for only $29.95 after all the rebates are said and done. Wow! 8O It sure didn't take them long to drive that price point down. It doesn't get much cheaper than this to get a Smartphone! [Affiliate]

Well,
As long as you're talking about good deals at Amazon...
Did you see that Amazon is offering the Microsoft Wireless-G Notebook Kit for $129.99, and Microsoft is offering a $30 mail-in rebate, so the whole package is just $99.99. Since it qualifies for free shipping, that's the total price.
Microsoft Wireless-G Notebook Kit
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...302495-9675129
This kit includes the following equipment:
Microsoft Broadband Networking Wireless Base Station: 802.11g wireless cable/DSL router and access point with 4-port Ethernet switch
Wireless Notebook Adapter: 802.11g/WiFi Cardbus PC Card network adapter
Although I have yet to purchase a Pocket PC with WiFi, I must say that I'm very pleased with my new WiFi setup in my apartment.
I'm saving up for the iPAQ 4155 to use with my WiFi setup.

Oh come on. After you've been shot the first couple times, it doesn't hurt anymore. :wink:

While it makes me happy to see deals like this, it also irritates me. As an existing AT&T customer, I cannot get in on this deal. They want to charge me $350 or something ridiculous like that.....grrrrrrrr
Someone please tell me I'm missing something here! While I love my PPCs, my ideal mobile setup has always been a SmartPhone with an ultraportable/tablet pc (I travel for too long at a time to just carry my PPC with me).
As long as I'm ranting, though, I will say that this deal would be much more attractive if AT&T didn't charge an arm, leg and a foreskin for data.....
Oh yeah, I'm with Foo..... after the first few times of getting shot, the bullets whizzing by are no more annoying than a bee's buzzing...

AT&T is having significant problems right now. I ordered one directly from their web site and waited 3 wseeks to get it without any notification. Finally, after getting it (after many e-mails and PMs tothe online service reps) I received it and it was DOA. Couldn't turn it on or charge it. I have been calling for the next 3 weeks trying to get a replacement. (If anyone wants to check out the customer service forums go to see the problems, go to http://forums.attwireless.com/attws
After holding for hours (yes, hours) I finally reached a rep who, to her credit, was very honest with me and told me to just return the phone under the 30 day guarantee and go get one at a local store. Then she told me that very early in 2004 the MPx220 will be coming out, with WM 2003, BT and and integrated camera. It may be a lot more expensive then $29.99 but I am going to wait.
BTW, during this time while I was trying to get a working phone, I brought my dead phone into a local AT&T store to try to exchange it - they wouldn't do it even though they are supposed to - but the sales rep told me that AT&T was going to release a firmware update for the MPx200 to update the phone to WM 2003. Not sure how true it is, but I thought I would pass this info on.

Anyone know if you purchase a phone and plan from Amazon with AT&T, do you still have the 30 day remorse period to cancel the service. Or does amazon have a different cancellation policy?
Thanks

Yes, it's a shame that the carriers offering Smartphones are the ones with the worst data pricing.
Every time I get the Smartphone bug (more and more these days I must confess) I check ATTWS and Verizon and it seems a bad idea.
I also recently switched from ATTWS to Sprint and the phone service is ten times better. If I had to go back to GSM I would prefer T-Mobile to AT&T.
