Treo 600 Now For T-Mobile
Oh crap. The internal contradictions in my attitude towards the Treo 600 is now almost at crisis: they’re now available for T-Mobile.
I want this phone. I just don’t feel like buying it for $400 after the upgrade discount.
I’m basically without excuses now. I’ll probably put this off until the discount is almost about to expire on March 2nd.
I’m debating on whether to pick up the generic GSM or T-Mobile branded phone, which is probably locked. The generic one is unlocked, which will make it more flexible in the future if I switch to a different carrier. The T-Mobile can probably be unlocked relatively easily with firmware from T-Mobile or other sources, and probably has T-Mobile APNs and MMS already configured. I’ll probably go with the latter when I have to decide.
Here’s a pointer to a NYT Magazine article about the categories of desire embodied with gadgets like the new(ish) Treo.
