How come the i705 is listed as a current model on Palm's website then? And at $159, with a $100 rebate (which brings the price to $59) if you keep the service for a year, it seems to be a good deal. It is a very good deal when you also consider the fact that none of the other networks will work above about 2000' AGL. The Mobitex network, which the i705 operates on, is a paging network and the radiation pattern of its antennas permis operation (albeit intermittently) airborne up to at least FL370. No joke. -Dave |

I've used it at FL410, worked well for the most part (one trip I recall was Albuquerque back to Monterey, there were some voids over portions of Nevada and Arizona). -jav |
