interesting... if you order it from palm directly, they are charging $15 a month for the pcs professional pack. But if you order it off amazon, they are charging $30 a month.

It could be a typo on amazon, but I would look into this before anyone buys the phone. You might be better off buying from from amazon and then adding the pcs professional pack after your setup your phone account..

If not, the $80 bucks you save on amazon will get eaten up pretty fast by the extra $15 a month.

I read in the Washington Post that Sprint has exclusive rights to sell the Treo 650 for the rest of this year. So I would expect Cingular to offer it soon after the new year.

I think the difference can be attributed to Amazon.com selling pocket pc phones as well as treos, and Palm only selling Treos. Sprint charges $15/month extra for devises using Pocket PC OS.
