then effectively its the same device ..

if you have any doubts ring them and ask (no harm there!) 😉

There is no extra charge from Cingular if you're using the Unlimited plan.

Also, I wouldn't call them because you'd be essentially telling them that you're using a device that they would normally charge PDAConnect fees (like the E62 or the Blackberry) which begin at $49/month if you purchase the device through Cingular.
