Alltel rolls out Palm Treo Pro

Alltel is set to play catch up with both Bell and Sprint with news today of its Palm's Treo Pro launch. Pricing is listed on the Alltel page at $519 less a $195 online discount and $125 mail-in rebate which settles this handset's price down to $199. Nice to see Alltel at least matching Sprint's offering, as our northern neighbor's price on Bell -- for the same term -- is about $300. If you've been waiting for something new on the Alltel Windows Mobile front, we'd hazard a guess this just may be it.

Catchup nothing! Alltel beat Sprint to the Treo Pro punch by 10 Days! Sprint is not set to release until the 15th.

Alltel merged with Verizon; therefore VZW has the Treo Pro before Sprint.

So how is that gonna work? Are we going to see the Treo Pro at (legacy) VZW stores? That would be awesome.

i wish they could have completely merged the two networks so Alltel phones could be used on Verizon cause this phone might have been able to keep me around. looks like im still bolting for the Pre though.
