I have a Treo 680, which is carried by AT&T. I happened to have
purchased mine directly from Palm as an unlocked device. People at
AT&T know I have a Treo, and I have in the past "corrected" "My
Account" on the AT&T web site to show that I have a Treo.

I had no problem adding the MEdia Net Unlimited plan rather than the
more expensive PDA plan. And my account on the site again shows an
"unknown" phone.

Not that it matters to you, but I did originally go with pay-per-use
data and kept an eye on it. When my usage exceeded $20 two months in a
row, I got the actual data plan.
