A better camera and bluetooth is not what makes the difference between the 600 and 650. For my money, it was the four times better screen res and the much faster processor and the ability to transfer at EDGE speeds. But there's also the better keyboard, bluetooth, and better camera (although the camera is the same res as the 650, just better exposure and color). Its of course a personal decision and future Treos will be better. Whether wifi will be a feature any time soon is a big question mark. We may just see EVDO and HSDPA Treos before we see wifi ones... --------------------- Sent with ChatterEmail True push email for the Treo Smartphone www.chatteremail.com

I'm wondering if it's not worth it to just wait - especially if it has to be an unlocked version. I have a Treo 300 and a Treo 600 and I don't see a compelling enough reason to junk my investment there for Bluetooth and a better camera. For what I need - making phone calls, playing and streaming MP3s, putzing around with SSH/VNC/FTP, SMS, occasional email, time-wasting games (for waiting in line), and occasional notetaking and reminders. One thing that would have swayed me was wifi access and the ability to play and stream good quality video. I realize you can do this now somewhat, but from what I've seen, the quality leaves a lot to be desired. I would like to see what killer-app features the new phones have in store.

I was never able to satisfactorily install my applications to the SD card; now I don't have to (except D2T, which has its own way of doing that) because the memory block size was reduced. I have experienced many fewer resets since the ROM update; now down to about 2 a week, or so. The only software incompatibility I've experienced ever was last night when RMRDiet just simply reset the Treo every time it started; I don't care about that since I never used the program anyway, but was just wanting to test it out. I have a friend with a Cingular 650 who had a terrible time with the volume problem - used to set it on speakerphone and hold it up to his ear to hear it; now with the ROM update he has to turn the volume down sometimes. I use VolumeCare and have the same "issue"!! I use a Bluetooth headset. I tried the Parrot whatever car kit (the one you don't install, but just plug in) and thought it was awful. Neat idea, though. Just poor sound quality. Others have been OK with it. My Bluetooth headset works well and is very functional. Only problem is battery life, but I just plug it in when it runs out of battery and go back to a wired headset until it's ready. That works OK for me; it's unrealistic to expect a teeny headset to have battery life comparable to the Treo's "talk time", I guess. One other thing that's great about the 650 is the ability (due to non-volatile memory) to swap batteries. Great for travel. ------------------------ Yahoo!
