There's a way to get unlimed Internet usage for $5.99, you just have to change a proxy setting. PM me and I'll be happy to explain it. Full internet and email for $6 = amazing

well my treo has a problem with the OK button it works fine but it gets stuck so they (palm) gave me an option i can either send of my phone and repair it and i pay to ship it there or they ship me a brand new one for $25 and i ship them back the old one free of charge what would you do? i choose the cheap approach but i think i am changing my mind and i will pay $25 for the new one...opinions?......oh and mcal i think i found out how to do it by searching on google i added tzones and i will test tomorrow when its actually added to my line.

I think I would go with the new one. If the button is stuck badly I would suspect they'd just send you a new one even though they say they'll "repair it". (Which is the Apple approach to repairs in my experience) So I don't really see a huge advantage of the Repair option, other then being slightly cheaper.
I PMd you with my instructions, hope it works

well i called them again and they said it would be factory reconditioned (refurbished) i feel like i would rather have them repair mine just cause i know where its been and how ive handled my phone. I dont know i cant really decide what to do either way i dont really wanna go without my treo and have to switch back to my flip samsung

I havent tried downloading, but for AIM everyone recommends using software called verichat (i think it has msn and yahoo built in too). According to the treo forum, verichat will work perfectly with this proxy setup. I'll give it a try later tonight, but now I'm trying to get the email client to send mail from my lotus account.

You buy a gps receiver from buygpsnow.com or any other site that sells them(I got the oncourse receive w/sirfIII chip). It costs ~$100. Then just get the SD card, and a gps software such as TomTom 5. And it works PERFECTLY. I got KIT from knight rider telling me to make lefts rights its cool.

I don't have a treo, but I altered the proxy setting on my Moto V180 through T-mobile and am using Opera mini on it to get full internet. The screen is small as hell, but it gets the job done if I really need to get online.
