I also have a Treo300 with TN5250, IM, email, text messaging, etc.  It is a
very good little unit and can be had for about $250 on ebay (new), and less
used.  If possible, keep your eyes open for the Treo600 to be released in
Late Sept/Oct.  (check out www.handspring.com).  The 600 is an even nicer
phone, and will address some of the 300's problems, mainly battery life.
BTW, Sprint's data network is awesome.  I also have a wireless Sprint PCS
card for my laptop (Novatel), and get speeds between 100-120K anywhere!

Subject: RE: Sprint phone needed to perform "pervasive" computing


You're doing the same thing I did a few months ago.  I went from 2 phones
(me + wife) to a company-paid phone for me + wife gets her own.

I'm using the Handspring Treo 300:

- Palm OS w/ 16MB
- Mochasoft TN5250
- Blazer web browser
- Color
- Sprint BizConn for MS Outlook integration (near-real-time email)
- Email/messages to yournameandsomenumber@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
- Unlimited data

It was great being in a class a couple of weeks ago and staying caught up on
emails during the breaks.  The phone is smaller than the Palm IIIx it
replaced (let alone the accompanying old cel phone).  Battery life is OK.
The keyboard is easy to get used to.  Lots of good phone features like speed
dials and integration with the Palm address book (and thus with Outlook
Contacts when synched).  As a phone I can start typing a number or a name
and it does a process of elimination to find it in the address book.  Or, if
reading anything on screen, if there's a phone number there you can dial it
without hitting the phone button & retyping in the #.  Mochasoft for Palm is
decent, although I can't recommend it if you want large text; text on a PDA
screen is tiny even with a scrolling view.

The big downside is it's a single mode phone; no analog fallback.  So it
might not work everywhere.  If you can hold a couple of months the Treo 600
would be a better phone (expandable, multi-mode, faster CPU, less filling,
tastes great).  Also, BizConn is very much a 1.0 product in that it doesn't
always connect (but does mostly) and doesn't offer support for anything
other than inbox, outbox, sent, deleted, and drafts.


My wife wanted a basic phone and got a Samsung SCH-A460.  $129 but there's
usually at least $80 worth of rebates on it.

I will be switching my cell phone from Centennial to Sprint.

What phone do you recommend I get?
Requirements:
- Place and receive phone calls.
- Be able to handle monitors from iSeries Navigator
Yes, work is picking up the tab.  However I don't want to break the bank. 
(Two more layoffs in the department this week.)

ps:  My wife will also be moving to Sprint.  That one I'll be paying for. 
All she needs is to be able to place/receive calls.
