CIngular 8525 HTC Hermes TyTn Cheap Deals

Hi all!Its been quite a while since I blogged and here is the reason for it - I moved to the U.S for higher education purposes;currently pursuing my M.S in C.S Networking.My thirst for Windows Mobiles grew even more here,but in the Pocket PC front.Im longing to take a new cingular connection - looking for HTC Hermes (Cingular 8525) device.The problem here in the U.S is the deal price - Cingular currently quotes it at $399 while Amazon quotes it at $199 after rebates.
The figures seem very interesting but the real FIX is the data plan.You are forced to take a data plan which makes the minimum monthly plan amounting to $80 and that is ridiculous for a mobile enthusiast college student like me :(
