Check again. $39.99 is not entry level, it is unlimited. I'm not sure what
the lesser ones are.

I got around it by telling Cingular I had multiple phones which
I used by swapping my SIM around. I told them my main phone
was a Nokia 6620 and I wanted the $19.99 unlimited plan for use
with that phone. The woman said 'im required to tell you that
we dont recommend this service if you have a pda on your account.
do you still want the 19.99 plan?' duh... yes, please.

PDA Unlimited $44.99 with a $5.00 discount if you also have a voice plan =
$39.99

How is the reception?
Any problem dialing with one hand, (i have limited use of my right arm)!
Battery issues?
Sync to PC issues?
Is the display bright enough in direct sunlight?
Accessories, what is good?
Any issues connecting it as a modem to send and receive FAXs?
Any issues interfacing a laptop and connectig to the internet?
