Palm Treo 600 (CDMA)
Treo connection to the web
In a different forum, someone suggested that the Treo is designed to maintain a constant web connection (see below). I don't need a constant link to email. It would be nice to have a PDA/cell phone combo anyway.
My understanding is that I can change the Treo's settings to only go on the web when I want it to. Then I could just use my plan minutes to access the web instead of paying for a data package. Am I right about this?
Thanks!

I'd go for the camera phone rather than wait for the TREO; the treo is designed to maintain a constant connection while waiting for incoming emils etc; Thus you must add a data package of 29.99 for 5mb or 49.99 for unlimited use. Otherwise

Will this comply with the treo also or not
thanks
As far as the second part. The answer is unfortunately no. The $15 monthly fee (first two months free if before 05/05) is for VCAST only and allows access to the GIN and the Mobile Web 2.0 - and is unlimited for those items only(unlimited all data is still $44.99/month). To have VCAST, the phone must be EVDO enabled. There are 3 phones from VzW, but the Treo is not one of them.
Hope this info helps.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news... ☹️
