To Add: Of course, as soon as I buy a new pda/phone I will be wanting the next technology. So I go back and look at my real needs and not just the awe factor and maybe the Blackberry (b/w) is the answer as email is most important to me in my business, afterall I have a couple laptops (one which is the Vaio which is very thin and a powerhouse). I would not wait for the colour Blackberry rumoured to be out later due to compromising battery length.

In summary, so many choices.

Jane,

Just to throw out some details on where Sprint's bundling might be headed, here's their current offering. These initial plans do not include modem pricing from either the wireline or wireless side, but I would expect that down the road too.

A repeat of post on QCOM Mod:

Some details on Sprint's initial foray into bundling local/LD/wireless. This package is only available in areas Sprint offers local service(I do not know if this includes areas where they are a CLEC). I expect it could be a model for how they offer WLL, which I am still trying to piece together details on. The thread linked below has copies of the pricing documents, but I'll list the basics for the plan:
Sprint Complete Sense Unlimited with PCS

$149.99/month

Includes:

Unlimited local calling
Unlimited domestic LD
Unlimited PCS Anytime Minutes w/LD

Additional PCS sub - $75
Unlimited Vision - Doesn't say, probably same - $15

The plan without wireless is $54.99, so they are offering unlimited nationwide wireless for $95.
