The difference is $20 a month, on the assumption that a PDA phone will
be used far more heavily (especially during peak hours) than a
standard phone on Media Net. Thus the difference between the $19.99
Media Net, and the $39.99 PDA Data Plan.

I do seem to recall people getting away with buying a MediaNet plan
for an old phone
buying a unlocked PDA (not from Cingular) and then "getting away"
with using MediaNet on the PDA by moving their SIM over.
