Re: Treo Pro on Verizon

It's actually quite simple.

Step 1. Get access to a Verizon Wireless Business Account (as opposed to a personal account).

If you already have a business account, you're a step ahead.

Step 2. Call the Verizon Wireless Business Sales line - (800) 899-4249.

Step 3. Ask to buy a Palm Treo Pro. If the rep insists that the device doesn't exist, or isn't for sale, insist that they look it up. When they find it, they'll be happy to sell it to you - for $399 with a 2 year contract, or $599 without a contract.

Important thing to note: not every business sales representative has heard of this phone, or sold it, so it can sometimes take a couple minutes to convince them that it exists. However, once they find it in their system, they will sell it to you.

Also - consumer sales representatives will deny the phone's existence, but even if they don't, they cannot sell it to you. It's not worth the fight, they simply do not have access to the device.

Good luck out there, and happy hunting!
