At any price under $500, it is going to sell out...... Look at the deal...Palm III is now $350, Q phone is $100, so the pair is about the same. Plus you get alot more stuff when data is rolled out, such as the ability to do SI anywhere anytime via the WEB....I know I did it with my pdQ a few times....

Ramsey- I think that the keys are battery life, voice activation and size (super small) in that order. My feeling is that folks will prefer two separate superior devices than a combined model. When will the new phones get voice activation? Caxton

Ramsey, pdQ at $450, I wonder if that is going to take a back seat to the thin phones. Is this before the subsidy or after? One thing about the thin phones may be a problem for Sprint: Since they don't really have contracts, existing customers can just walk in and get a new thin phone, and Sprint will have to pay another subsidy. Did anyone hear any pricing information about the thin phones? Are they going to be in the same range as 820, 1920 and 2700 models? Joe
