Palm are making a big mistake launching this in Europe, where even low end phones include a 1.3MP camera, mid range a 2MP and the latest popular phones, 3MP (K800i, N80 etc). In the US, most phones still ship with low end cameras, and so the Treo 680 may well do well with the younger crowd over there, but I predict it will fail in Europe until Palm launch a similar device with at least a 2MP autofocus camera and WiFi. Where they may do well in Europe is pitching it against the Blackberry, where a camera is not the key value proposition. (The design of the 680 is lovel by the way, keyboard looks nice too!) I'm going to get a P990i, suffer is flaws, and then get what does not exist but is no doubt on the drawing board at Apple, Palm and/or SE for 2007.

When companies like nokia are defying the rules of creativity, That's not the best gadget to come up with to win a market for PALM treo

Why?, why?? The technology is already there, Nokia is coming soon with the N95, Sony has already the P990. What's the strategy? Why can we've a Treo GSM with a 5mp camera, WiFi, and a lot of RAM, say 512Mb... My last two words.... WHY? WHEN???? =o(

i wonder how 650 has been so successful during 2005.it's ranked by many reviewers to be the best smartphone on the market,and best in this entire planet.it appeared in many american movies.millions of americans got a 650.i definitely love the design,even now,2 year after its release.people been saying palmos is dead,but i think there still millions of palmos enthusiasts ,long live palm os!!!!!!!

yeeeeeeeeee! palm os is still alive! this long awaited phone finnally emerged after 700p.not very recommended to existing 650 user though,.to be honest i still prefer the protruding antenna, which made it like a normal phone, while this one here looks a bit wierd to me. i owned tungsten e2, then treo650,then imate kjam,then nokia n93,then sony p990#. nearly all pda platforms.now,still love my 650.

WHAT?!?? What is the difference between this and a Treo 650, It actually seems this one has more memory!!! But it's suppose to retail for cheaper than the 650!

i got a treo 650, and its amazing. you people can install a software call PALM VNC and WIN HAND, they are for browsing windows xp interface on your treo. you can install softick audio bluetooth gateway for bluetooth music on treo 650. i still love my treo. i got a sony p990 3 days ago, and its advantages over treo is fm radio,wi,wap browser,usable camera. its keyboard is much smaller than treo! and uiq interface is not very easy to use at all, while treo is so easy to use and navigate! and its battery is short compared to my 650, only 950 mhz, while my 650 got 1600mhz. but i still love my 650's screen , its so bright and high resolution, especially good for watching movies,i dont know how many movies i ve aready watched on it, while p990 screen glares to my eyes at any angle especially when screen is black, and the screen can reflect anything including my face!!
