I'm the exact opposite. I don't think I'd find a PDA that useful and I almost never populate the Phone Book in my cell. Of course, I have done so with my new phone I got the other day, but the one call I've made so far was to someone I programmed in and I dialed the number manually anyway.

I had an i700 pocket pc pda phone thing and signed up for the data only plan so it was 50.00 for unlimited and they said it was ok to use as a wireless modem. It was cheaper if you added it to a regular calling plan but I just wanted the data.

The Tmobile plan was far cheaper but the Verizon network was supposed to be faster. I didn't look at Sprint after they told me I couldn't use the phone for a wireless modem.

Now the Verizon plans look totally different and all I can see is 40.00 for 20mb and 60.00 for 60mb which is insane.

I only used it for a few months and canceled because the speeds were too slow for 50.00 a month.

It amazes me that all the other carriers (besides Sprint and T-Mobile) aren't even close to competetive with their data rates.

I got the T608 and I wanted to thank dbrashear for the suggestion. This is a beautiful phone, very light, and the sound quality is wonderful. Most importantly, the reception is 500% better than TMobile. It's really incredible to see how poorly my P800 was performing.

Anyway, I took the phone, with instructions from www.sprintpcsinfo.com, to CompUSA. I hate the store but it has working PDAs on display. I played around with a bluetooth enabled PDA, and successfully got it to connect to the internet using the T608 as a modem. Now I can't wait to get a PDA.

Anyway, I just wanted to thank dbrashear for the recommendation. Great pick!

My wife doesn't like the UI on the phone, she wants her old Sanyo 4900 back (she lost it).

I'd trade her the Sanyo 5400 I have for it, but due to Sprint having a different idea of plan than I do, and me being unwilling to argue, having a bluetooth phone and the treo would be useless, as i could only have vision on one of them unless i change plans, and i'm not doing it.

The UI is pretty darn bad, I admit. I've read that the phone was rushed to production, and the software they put on it wasn't even the intended software. Consequently the menus are frustratingly slow. It's okay for me, though, because I had far more frustrations with my old phone, so this is a huge step up
