Would someone kindly post the original post so we can see what is being
discussed... Is this talking about the Treo 600?

It was a dark and stormy night when Carrie stepped out of the
alley onto "comp.sys.palmtops.pilot" and cried out:

No, it's not the Treo 600.

It's not "free" speech when I have to pay for the privilege
of listening to a message that I don't want to hear.

From the web site:

It was rumored that this device would be named Veld; however, this is not t=
he=20
case. According to this source, it will be called the Palm Tungsten W, with=
the=20
W presumably standing for "wireless".

And:

This smartphone uses GPRS/GSM wireless networks. GPRS offers 144 Kbps=20
connections, though only under ideal conditions. GPRS is widely deployed in=
=20
Europe and other parts of the world but is just getting off the ground in t=
he=20
U.S.

I have no idea how this device has anything to do With SPCS. We don't use=
=20
GSM/GPRS.
