That doesn't sound right. If "Media Works" doesn't work why would the
Unlimited Data plan work? (I am assuming you are talking about Media Net.)
The Unlimited Data plan is just one of the options for a Media Net account.
I don't have a Treo 600 but I have a Palm T3 and a Motorola V551 phone. My
combination works fine.

"Media Works" is one data plan which Cingular wishes to provide only to phones
dumber than the Treos (e.g., RAZR).
