Hot on the heels of Sprint's release of the Palm Treo Pro smart phone, Alltel has started selling the Windows Mobile smart phone as well, for $199-519 depending on the usual carnival of contracts and mail-in rebates.
The really interesting angle on this for many people, though, may be that this is actually a Verizon Wireless Palm Treo Pro. Sort of. Since Verizon bought Alltel, they're neck-deep in the process of integrating the two networks - so if you're in one of the markets which will transition to Verizon this year, you've got a Verizon Wireless Treo Pro.
The 2.2 million people in markets not swallowed up by Verizon are in a slightly chancier position, as Alltel is aiming to sell those markets off to someone else. CDMA AT&T Treo Pros, anyone?
