Treo Pro from Alltel

While Palm announced yesterday that its Treo Pro will be coming to Sprint on March 15, Alltel Wireless announced a day later, though it gets the device first. The number five US mobile operator, now owned by Verizon, began offering the 3G Windows Mobile 6.1 Treo today as a web site-only purchase. As with Sprint, Alltel's Treo Pro will cost $199.99 with a two-year contract and related rebates.
