Go to www.deals2buy.com and scroll down for Sony T610+Jabra deal on Amazon. If you do not want Jabra you can get a rebate of $230 less phone for $155 = +$75 so when you give termination fee of -$175 you'd only pay +$100 for switching with BT phone.

Then you can sell your old phone on Ebay. I had Sprint service with a Sanyo 8100 Camera Phone. I got $140 for it! Then I got a free 610 from T-Mobile add the $150 contract break from Sprint and I paid $10.

In case anyone is thinking of buying the cordless Jabra earpiece for non-car cell calls, don't. I owned one for 30 days and brought it back. It had a very annoying constant hum, and only was able to have about 30 minutes of talk time between charges! I have the Jabra corded model and am very happy with it.

Thanks for the phone tip, but I'll wait until verizon "sees the light".

FYI, where I live, anything except Verizon is a joke. Forget wireless Acura integration.....if you can't make or receive a call on TMobile, Cingular, or ATT, what's the point?

What you said boltjames.

I had Sprint a few years ago and I could only use it in my apartment if I stood in the corner near the window in my living room

I'll wait for Verizon for BT.

What *really* sucks is that there's no place to put a cellphone in the TL.

Don't talk to me about the two door slots below the radio; it looks bad to keep them open all the time and you couldn't really plug the phone into the outlet without putting the antenna into the dash and the base of the phone pointed outwards.

Under the armrest(s)? Nope. Can't hear it ring and I doubt reception is good. Atop the slidey door by the cupholders? Nope. Rubber paint isn't sticky enough and the grooves on either side aren't deep enough to prevent it from flying across your lap in a hard turn. Door pockets? Yuch. Too tough to find it when it rings.

My solution? Gave up a cupholder and shoved it in there. In a car this sophisticated, one would think that a simple cellphone spot in the interior would be high on the priority list.

That's why TL have BT. Use BT phone and keep it anywhere even in the trunk.

I'll also wait for Verizon before going to any of those others. Cell phone no use if you can't get a signal. Verizon is tops in my area BTor not!

Please explain. You got a 610 for free?? Is that the Treo 610??
I have the Treo 180 and I was waiting until the 610 came out so it would have BT. This would be sweet. Thanks in advance.
