Just noticed a new P/R from SPCS, on a new phone they just released - Sprint
PCS Vision Smart Device SP-i600 by Samsung for $650 retail before rebates
and web specials. SPCS has the phone for sale for $470 on their site, with a
2 year contract. Pretty pricey phone there. Here are the details -

Lotta PDAPhone geeks have been waiting for Sprint to carry a Windows
Smartphone. Perhaps Sprint hopes to make a buck off of the few dozen
aforementioned geeks, because that price is absolutely ridiculous.
What you end up getting is a PDA only slightly more useful than an old
ReXX credit-card organizer. Except it has colorful icons. And plays
MP3s. Whee. That's sure worth 7 Benjamins. For $400 less I can have an
iPod with MP3 playing, contact list etc. For 30 bucks more I can have
a phone.

But as PT Barnum said...
