Amazon has fantastic deals on PDA's such as this AT&T 8525 PDA Phone (AT&T) is free after $100 rebate and yet only offers voice plans. ALL of the phones sold on Amazon are only with voice plans. There are no data plans available on any of these phones which are a great deal. This is so unfair!

On the AT&T website, they have a great deal on a refurb Cingular 8125 for only $49.99 but that requires a voice plan. Again with that!

Why is it that all of these great online deals are out of reach for us deaf people!!?? This is discrimination. It's so unfair.

I know that some deaf websites sell Blackberry's, Sidekick and Treos with data only plans, and maybe a not so bad of a deal. But I do not want those. I know they offer data only plans in an ATT store if I wanted that, but I only want a Pocket PC, not a sidekick, not a blackberry nor a Treo. I have specific needs that a Pocket PC has. However those great deals aren't found inside the stores. They're all are online.

Does anyone out there know of a great deal with a data only plan on a pocket pc like this or be able to buy the pda w/o the service and buy the data only service in the store?
 
Amazon sell them at a lower price so they want to recoupe the loss by having you include a voice plan in the contract.

If you want to go with AT&T then you better off going to an AT&T store then get a Smartphone/PDA with a regular plan then you can contact AT&T to have the phone transferred to TAP plan which is only 29.99 a month.

I have a AT&T 8525 with TAP plan and I am only paying 29.99 + tax a month.

Here the link about the TAP plan and I would suggest you contact them to see how they can assist you getting a phone at a lower price with TAP ..
