"Starting today, AT&T Wireless will begin offering a bundled device and service package that allows business customers to use their HP iPAQ Pocket PCs to access the fastest, nationwide wireless data network in North America. Using a Bluetooth-enabled iPAQ, business customers can access AT&T Wireless EDGE service by using a Bluetooth-enabled Nokia 6820 phone as a portable, high-speed modem."
Bundles with the Nokia 6820 and an iPAQ 4150 start as low as $375 and go up for the 2215 or 4350. They also have plans if you already have an iPAQ. It keeps mentioning "enterprise customers" so I don't know if consumers can take advantage of this. :?:
"AT&T Wireless EDGE service is the fastest, nationwide wireless data network." Man I am so far behind. :? I have no idea what EDGE is based on. AT&T is a GSM service, and if they are talking speed, I know it isn't GPRS, which is what I'm using to post this. :) It is great to see a phone company offer this bundle that that is a two device model. A 2215 with its CF and SDIO slot paired with a bluetooth phone is one of the most powerful and versatile packages around!
