RE: I'm sorry....$681.51
remember playstation was about a thousand dollars auctioning on ebay while the supply is a few hundred
now Treo is just 681.51 dollars and the supply is 1.
If it's really that hot it should be at least close to 800 by now.

RE: I'm sorry....$700
Anyone remember about someone making $500 or so just from selling the Playstation 2 box during the christmas season? Now that is insane.

RE: I'm sorry....$700
A co-worker of mine paid $500 for a $10 Tickle-me-Elmo doll. Her kid was afraid of it when she turned it on. Ended up going to Goodwill

RE: What do they get?!
Rumor has it Handspring is working on a CDMA version of the Treo, too.

RE: What do they get?!
RE: What do they get?!
Rogers AT&T is setting up a GSM/GPRS network to parallel existing CDMA networks. Major centers only now, rural areas to follow (Jan - Feb 2002).
I was cool to the idea of the Treo because it uses GSM, but now I can't wait!
(Well, maybe I can wait 'til they're generally avaiable...)
RE: What do they get?!
Do you know if Rogers will be supporting the Treo devices? They seem to only support the phones "they" choose... which is why I switched over to Bell Mobility... But if they are going to support the Treo, I would definately switch back, as Bell hasn't made any mentions of GSM/GPRS support.
Any Canadians using the Visor Phone? Does anyone know of any providers that will support it?
RE: What do they get?!
According to TREO FAQ, the phone should be available with FIDO and ROgers...I am pretty sure Rogers is going to offer it with contract. FIDO does not have contract arrangements.
Wait a minute.
The folks at Handspring have now proven that they are publicity whores.

"The folks at Handspring have now proven that they are publicity whores."
..or perhaps they've proven that they are willing to use the excitement surrounding their latest product to help out a deserving charity?

A Palm in hand is worth two in your pocket.
RE: Wait a minute.
I am 31 years of age and intelligent enough to understand what is going on here. Why doesn't Handspring, QUIETLY, just give the money to the cause? Big Brothers and Big Sisters needs a hell of a lot more money than that received of an auctioned Handspring product. From the press release:
"The Treo 180 series is the first in a new line of communicator products from Handspring that combines a mobile phone, wireless data applications like email, short messaging and Internet browsing, and a Palm OS organizer into one compact device."
What does that have to do with helping the needy?
We should probably agree to disagree on this item. I just do not like corporations doing this kind of advertising.
RE: Wait a minute.
They give information about the device because this is an auction, and people like to know what they are buying in an auction. Plus it is a press release, you don't just say you are auctioning something off and not actually describe what it is.0
Handspring is a company, who has stock holders, stock holder's who's investments need to be protected. While its all nice and all if a company gives money away, its not nice if they go out of business because of that. By doing the donations this way, handspring lets money be raised for a good cause and at the same time not hurt them. Money isn't free you know.

RE: Wait a minute.
Do you want them to just keep the hundreds/thousands they make off of it? Might as well give it to charity.

They could even write it off as a tax deduction.
I can her the conversation now....
Hawkins: "I have an idea how we can promote the Treo. We can auction the first one off for charity. Those poor saps need our money, but I would rather get some free advertising and let someone else dish out the funds. Im sure that the 3 treos will go for about $5,000.00 and it would only cost us about $300.00 to build them. Our stockholders would be pleased that we were able to aquire free advertising while helping a good cause!"
I agree - Handspring is just using this for free publicity
As someone said above, if you don't see anything fundamentally wrong with what Handspring is doing, then we'll just have to agree to disareee about this.
What are you guys doing??
And you didn't report my case like this Treo?
hmm.. unfair... ops...
What we're doing

Or was that dust under the screen?
hey come on...
Just try to take it in a humor way, OK? Don't be so serious and nervous.
And, this is not anything to do with "Sony fan", it's from a "eBayer" who does business.
Merry Xmas~
Stupid!

Crazy stuff.
Ok this is insane
