Where I get all of my "made-up" AT&T info- from AT&T...

The list of "compatible phones" for the $30 PDA plan, (they dropped it to
$30 from $40 a while ago, now...) directly from AT&T's website, is:

"AT&T: Tilt
Cingular: 8125 , 8525
HP:hw6515
Motorola: Moto Q Global
Nokia: E62
Palm: Centro, Treo 650, Treo 680, Treo 750
Pantech: Duo
Samsung: Blackjack, Blackjack II"

Off the top of my head, I know the Cingular 8125, HP 6515, Treos 650 and
680, and Palm Centro are not 3G phones, although AFAIK, the Centro is the
only currently-sold non-3G PDA- the others are long discontinued.

The only "PDA" (AT&T's website definition, certainly not mine!) with a
sub-$30 data plan is the iPhone, which has it's own "iPhone" data plan. All
other PDAs, REGARDLESS OF DATA SPEED, are $30 for the data add-on, (or $60
if you want tethering included.)

But please- don't take my word for it- go to the AT&T wireless website,
stick a Centro in the shopping cart, go to "add services" and try to find us
a cheaper "2G PDA data plan," ok?
