Its not fair Verizon and Sprint sold the treo 700 for Around $650 making it a high end luxury phone Business. Now cingular is selling it for just 200 marketed for kids. And the worst part is they do the Exact same thing. There goes Treo from high end to everyone has one like the razr now.
...
I think its wonderful, great competition. Smartphones are the wave of the future. The more people use them, the more the demand, the more the supply will increase, more money will be spent on R&D. Life is good.
...
Heck yeah, if the price of 'em drops I would love to have a Treo.
...
treo 700 for 650 wtf? in my corp. sprint store it is 399 you got ripped get over find a new website to talk on man your annoying
...
$399 if you are eligible for an upgrade, if not you will pay that price at the Sprint store. I know because I did.
...
that is correct, sir.
...
Look u dumb **** treo's for 399 thats with a new contract vis a vis specials for new customers. If you are a sprint user you have to pay the full price for any phone DUH. and Me being on of the first to have the treo. the Price was 649.99 retail.
...
The 700 series is a much higher end series than the 680.
...
How is it a higher series? if you compare them they have the same functions 315 proc touch screen memory. Whats the big plus of the 700? i have the 700p now and had the 650 so im a familiar user.
...
