If there is a device coming after the Treo, I assume it would be much much better than the Treo 600.

I have the treo 600 for verizon. love it.. only thing is theres no alarm clock on it...

The new treo ACE/650 is much better, but i doubt verizon will get it within the yr.

I have the Treo 600. Love it love it.

The Treo 610/650 is supposed to be out this year.

Bluetooth
Better screen resolution
More memory
Network access



I should be able to sell my 600 for a nice chunk of change and switch to the new one.

My gf just got one from her firm the other day... It's very cool, but it's still a bit too small to type efficiently and a little too big to be a good cell phone replacement.

My business is slowly replacing our Blackberries with these too. I may get one if my Blackberry dies.

Bluetooth. Could be everything, could be nothing, could be one thing.

I was thinking about getting that phone but I already have the samsung i330. The only reason why I would upgrade is because of the camera. Maybe I'll wait and check out the 650 and it.

i always used a headset or speakerphone..

when i had the audiovox ppc4100...it even stated, use the headset..that it was not made for talking normally....the treo didnt say that, but either way..i used the headset..i just recently bought a audiovox smt5600, which is smaller and easier to talk into, but i still use the headset to(bluetooth now) and when the new treo comes out..itll be the same....
