Thats to bad that the price will be 599 without activation. If it would
have been 499 I would have jumped on it. Guess I'll be waiting for a
few months.

You mean dropping Cingular and using SPCS, right? In that case, yes, I=20
think it should be able to do so. All of our devices already support=20
one-way messaging, so *at a minimum* you can send messages to the Treo=20
600.

If you mean using the Treo on Cingular, you'd have to ask Cingular about=20
that.

In case you were just tuning in, Phill. and Justin are two moronic
trolls that just lie and bash about people who are here to help others.

The Treo 600 will be Sprint's first PDA to support two-way MO-SMS (I
have the manual), so yes, it will be able to replace the Blackberry.

The Treo 600 will have SMS, they say. I don't use SMS and don't plan
to, so I am not up on the lingo enough to answer any detailed
questions, but it sounds like it'll be "real" SMS.

One thing that it will probably not have is Blackberry-type "push
mail". You'll have to check mail manually or periodically. There are
"push mail" solutions, but they involve commercial server-side
software that your tech department may or may not be willing to
support if they're already supporting the Blackberry. So when you ask
if it'll replace the Blackberry, it kind of depends what Blackberry
features are important to you.

Yes and no. The Nokia 3588i, already being sold "has SMS", but
nobody "has SMS", because it hasn't been implemented on the all digital
SprintPCS network, and nobody can say when it will be up and running.

My guess: 3 months after PTT is released. When will PTT be released:
REAL SOON NOW.

Good point. I'd forgotten that feature of Blackberries. We don't do=20
that.

want.

Yiu better have a VisionPack for unlimited Vision then, if its regularly
hitting an email server.

Thank you for your reply. but that was not what I meant.

I currently have a sprint cell phone with unlimited vision, and a
blackberry 950 with Cingular. The cingular service offers an 800
number with an operator that takes a call and sends me a text message
so it acts as a blackberry and a pager.

Will Sprint offer a similar service for use with the Treo 600?

I meant, can
