VWZ really missed the boat by not putting the pro on their network after it came out. I switched to sprint after being with VWZ for over 5 years. This is my 5th smart phone and is by far the best one I have ever used. Blows blackberry, and the iphone (usual as a legitimate business tool) away!!

FYI – there were some markets that were Verizon that did not initially display the device, especially on the East Coast. This device IS available to both the Heritage Alltel and the acquired VZW markets now, but VZW will NOT be flashing these devices for use on their network. The devices will still have Alltel information and applications.

“PN2 Said:

“PandaBarr Said:
The article is incorrect about availability to only Divested customers. All Alltel customers, Heritage and Divested, are eligible for this device. May not be available online to heritage, but if you go to a store or call in you are able to purchase.”

Total BS. Stores don’t and won’t have it. Divested ONLY and online sales only.”

Call Alltel right now and ask them to mail you one. Im positive Sales/Customer Service would love to mail you a device.

Know your facts before calling BS

A buddy of mine has that phone and it’s actually on point. It’s a win, not a fail.

Do you think this will give vzw a clear chance to flash devices that will be passed up even though they have thier Openess

this is only for divested markets meaning they will not be VZW customers! do these divested markets continue with the alltel name and company or are they sold off already to some other cdma provider or ?? i mean what happens to all these alltel folgs who will never be vzw customers?

Verizon buys Alltel, Alltel gets Treo Pro – Verizon getting Treo Pro? Anyone know?

I agree with you Joe!
Verizon acquired Treo Pro before Sprint does!
And, tomorrow or sooner, we will see another article that Pre is also being released on Alltel (~Verizon) before Sprint! No wonder to me!

Doesn’t this effectively mean that Verizon has the Treo Pro before Sprint does?
