Lio, I have a 600 & a 650. Both need repairs. I've already used the enhanced Palm databases, so I don't think I can go back to the 600. I've considered the 650. It's an unlocked Cingular phone. After repairing it, Palm will send it back locked to Cingular (AT&T). I would be gambling that I can get it unlocked again. I know AT&T isn't going to do it because I'm not their customer. Taking that risk might be the sensible thing to do. But, you might have noticed that I'm pissed at Palm in general. There are the criticism pointing out their numerous gaffes and the rumors doubting the prospects for their long-term survival and. And, to me, they are acting like a company on a steep slide into oblivion. -- Larry Hess, CPA | Albuquerque, NM
