official launch of the Treo 680 with Cingular, there was a juicy, moist rumor that Cingy would be giving them away with a two-year data commitment. That did not pan out, but you can actually get that deal today, if you’re OK with mail-in rebates.

MyTreo.net, a damn good site itself, is running a promotion with enough mail-in love to make the purchase of the latest Palm smartphone a net total of $0 for new customers, or $39 for current customers.

Sure, there are a few hoops to jump through, and no fewer than three mail-in offers you must take advantage of, but if you’re willing to do the legwork, it sure beats paying full price. It’s a limited time promotion, so if you’re primed, pull the trigger now. We also recommend this as a great holiday gift, because nothing says “I love you” like selling someone into cellular servitude for 2 years.
