That’s exactly what we looked at doing.  You will find that as a defined group that is not trying to make money from it, you will be able to negotiate lower rates.  The fly in our ointment was over getting a “piece of the action”.  If you commit to a certain number of phones, you will be able to get up to 20% off.

Favorite High End Phones

What are your biases on cell phones?

  • Treo 600, Treo 650: (from Kevin Koym). I really enjoy all of the features of these two phones, but I am really, really disappointed in their reliability. I have had to return my 600 to Sprint 5 times before they replaced it with a Treo 650. I have had to replace the Treo 650 three times now. This is a big waste of time
  • Treo 700: (from Kevin Koym). I have heard really bad things about this new platform compared to the ease of use of the Treo 600 and Treo 650. Seems like that Palm has moved into the wrong direction with this new phone.


General Notes from people on the list

That’s exactly what we looked at doing. You will find that as a defined group that is not trying to make money from it, you will be able to negotiate lower rates. The fly in our ointment was over getting a “piece of the action”. If you commit to a certain number of phones, you will be able to get up to 20% off.


He should call the three big companies and talk to their business sales. They will be interested in seeing that you sign up for a few (5) phones that are connect to a corporate billing. However, I think you can negotiate around this.
