Is there a reason you posted this twice in less than a minute under=20
two different thread titles?

Ah, I knew there was a reason Phillie was launching into this so=20
rapidly. He didn't want to have to actually *read* anything:

The Treo 600 is now available at a suggested retail price of $599.99=20
through Sprint business channels including the PCS direct sales force=20
and the Sprint PCS Business SolutionsSM Program. Sprint will continue=20
to carry the original Treo 600 with the embedded camera in all sales=20
channels including business channels, Sprint Stores and (coming soon)=20
online at www.sprint.com/business.=20

In fact, the press release *itself* says this version of the Treo=20
isn't available via regular retail channels yet.

As usual, Phillie's taking care *not* to tell the whole truth.

It is Vargie who is not telling the truth.

As usual SprintPCS press release is incorrect.
No where did I say it was available through regular channels. But it is not
even available on the web as the press release says it is.

Rob Vargas - still a disgrace to SprintPCS.


"The Treo 600 is now available at a suggested retail price of $599.99 through

channels, Sprint Stores and online at<A HREF="http://www.sprint.com/business">
http://www.sprint.com/business</A>"

But that web site says zero nada zich about it. Still days later the only Treo
600 at the referenced web site says:

"Power + productivity + style
Palm 5 OS-based, embedded camera, QWERTY keyboard"

Oh, quit your complaining Phillipe, and stop with the multiple IDs within
the same thread ... SPCS puts newly announced phones on the web site a few
days after the announcement. It's been that way for a long time ...

I have the impression that you would complain if they put the phone on the
website, before announcing it officially.

I don't see that you said anything about the availability of the Treo
600 sans camera anywhere in this thread.

Thank you. As usual Vargas is trying to obfuscate to make up for the
errors of Sprint.

That's exactly the point Mike. Phillipe said it wasn't available as it
wasn't listed on the web site, and with both IDs used in this thread.

What part of "Sprint will continue to carry the original Treo 600=20
with the embedded camera... online" confused you? The press release=20
says the non-camera version will be available only through specialty=20
business sales channels, Phillie. It says the original *with* camera=20
will remain on the web site.

Exactly as it is.

Reading Comprehension, Phillie. I recommend you take a refresher.

No obfuscation, Phillie. Not by me. But there is by you. By=20
pointing out that the non-camera Treo isn't on the web site, you are=20
stating exactly what the press release says is so. That the embedded=20
camera version will be for sale on the web site.

Too bad, Phillie. As your past history makes clear, you'll refuse to=20
be a decent human being (you know, like a REAL Christian would be)=20
and admit you're wrong.
