Treo 650 is official!

Yep, the wait is over: the Treo 650 got officially official today, and right on schedule, too (well, depending on whether or not you take into account them seriously jumping the gun and accidentally distributing the Treo 650 press release last week). No, you can't buy it yet—you're at the mercy of the carriers now, which won't actually be offering the new smartphone until they're good and ready—but at least we know that it can't be too much longer now. And as we all already knew, the major improvements over the old Treo are Bluetooth, a higher resolution LCD screen, a faster processor, and a removable battery. The stuff we are disappointed by: still only 32MB of memory, supposedly some carriers will be crippling the Bluetooth, and the camera is still only VGA quality—no bump up to 1.3 megapixels like we'd hoped.

Bluetooth is great, EDGE support on the GSM side is great, 320x320 screen is great. But keeping the same camera and wimpy memory profile (32MB builtin) will be noticeable by average consumers, and will cut into sales. It's possible that PalmOne is trying to keep the price competitive with SonyEricsson and Nokia models, and the PocketPC models out there, but I think they're betting too much on the popularity of the 600. Not many 600 owners will upgrade to this, and this won't draw many new customers to buy a high-end phone.

[Adam @ Dec 19th 2005 12:05AM]

Kind of disappointing... OK so I am not as excited as I was... actually one of the things I wanted was a 1.3meg pixel camera... Should I wait for the Treo 670 or 700? Does this one at least have a transflective screen?

[Dakota Bless @ Dec 19th 2005 12:05AM]

To be honest the new specs are decent; but to keep the same crappy 0.3 megapixel camera is alittle insulting. It would have looked beatiful on that new high-res screen. Right when you think there going to get it right, they screw it up.

[Elie @ Dec 19th 2005 12:05AM]

Why and why, still have the low vga camera resolution?

i hope it's a mistake in typing.

[Devin Lussier @ Dec 19th 2005 12:05AM]

I was going to buy one of these. I even had my mom convinced it'd be great for school and she was going to pay for half of it. But now I think I'll be putting my Treo money into a digital camera. If it had the 1.3 megapixel camera I would still have the credit card on the ready.

:`( Unfortunately that 0.3 megapixel camera is the dealbreaker for me.

[Steve @ Dec 19th 2005 12:05AM]

Ok, it's a decent, small upgrade, but what a lame launch. PR firm should be fired! Also can't believe it still just has a .3 megapixel camera in this day and age - terrible!

It's, of course, the best smartphone out there, but not enough for me to upgrade. If it had a better camera and a WiFi SmartCard option then maybe.

[Greg @ Dec 19th 2005 12:05AM]

0.3 megapixel camera is bad for a device in this pricepoint
32 MB Memory is pretty tame for a device of this type as well

While I still have this device at the top of my list, its no longer a lock as it was before. I still want to see what's up with the shipping status timeframe of the BenQ P50 and the TMobile MDA III.

[Ron @ Dec 19th 2005 12:05AM]

A bestbuy employee on http://discussion.treocentral.com/showthread.php?t=60024&page=1&pp=20 posted inventory scans which have the treo 650 available nov 14 for $650.

[Patrick Myers @ Dec 19th 2005 12:05AM]

For me, the camera doesn't matter. 0.3, 1.3, whatever. What worries me more is the comment in the PalmInfoCenter article (sorry for linking to another site)

http://www.palminfocenter.com/view_story.asp?ID=7237

that says the WiFi SD card will not work with the 650. I am fine with it not being built in, but not having the option for WiFi is bad.

-p-

[Sam @ Dec 19th 2005 12:05AM]

I was going to get the treo 650, but with the 1.3 camera gone, I'll either wait for the Treo 600 to get cheaper or for the BenQ. It's too bad...I was ready to sell my furniture just to get the treo 650 with 1.3 camera, too.

If you're reading this, Palmone (and I'm sure you do), bad judgement call! Bad!

[Lagom Johannson @ Dec 19th 2005 12:05AM]

I couldn't give a hoot about bluetooth, having nothing to connect it to. But I wanted a higher resolution camera! And why prioritize video, which is admittedly a fine thing to have, when you can't even take decent pictures??? It is simply unbelievable that of all features they would cut that one! What a disappointment. I will not be upgrading this time around.

[Bruno @ Dec 19th 2005 12:05AM]

VGA camera only ? 65k display only? Very disapointing. These are the features the Treo 600 should have had. I'm not going to compromise again. Sorry palm - very very disapointing.

[Doug Proctor @ Dec 19th 2005 12:05AM]

I had the Treo 600 and got rid of it because of the dreadful camera, wimpish memory and the screen resolution. Yes, we have bluetooth (although Orange will probably disable it on their record) but the camera and memory haven't changed.
What's the point of upgrading? I and many other probably won't now. Your loss Palm.

[Danborg @ Dec 19th 2005 12:05AM]

The Treo 650 has a 312 Mhz Intel PXA270 processor, which should provide for snappier performance, as well as improved power management and battery life. Graphics should be improved with the MMX capabilities of this chip, and I suspect the video and camera interfaces benefited greatly also. Check out the Intel website for details: http://www.intel.com/design/embeddedpca/applicationsprocessors/302302.htm

[Mark @ Dec 19th 2005 12:05AM]

I heard that the SD slot is SDIO capable, so will Palm work w SanDisk et al on a WiFi SDIO card?

Any details on how many EDGE slots are capable? I am expecting only 2 down + 1 up, but hoping for 4+2 or at least 4+1. A single EDGE slot theoretically supports 59.2Kbps using MCS9 encoding with 8PSK modulation. The Nokia EDGE phones are 2+1, so AT&T avg downlink is 80-100Kbps. Of course the device could support 4+1/2 and the carrier could choose to save voice bandwidth and only support 2+1 on the network.

[John @ Dec 19th 2005 12:05AM]

Can anyone confirm or deny? I read that there will be no 'EDGE over Bluetooth', maybe 'EDGE over IR'?

I'm picking this up the first chance I get on the first carrier that enables Bluetooth. All I want is IMAP and car compatibility :)

[Donald @ Dec 19th 2005 12:05AM]

The camera is similar to the Zire 72 camera in that it can shoot videos and is much better at low light, but just that it's only VGA. I'm okay with it though, I mean for serious pictures I would much rather use my Canon A85. I would use my Treo 650 for quick pictures of friends to e-mail it to friends who couldn't make it, or for weird things I might find on the street (like the one time I saw a really funny bus ad for Axe deodorants, pencil sharpners all trying to reach up towards a pencil... slogan "The Axe effect")

[Lagom Johannson @ Dec 19th 2005 12:05AM]

>...processor, which should provide for snappier performance, as well as improved power management and battery life.

The current performance and power management and battery life of the 600 are just fine! Just fine, I say to you again. They fixed the wrong thing. The camera resolution was the real glaring problem with this phone, and they didn't fix that. A-'ing-mazing.

[Glendel Bondoc @ Dec 19th 2005 12:05AM]

When cameraphones are reaching 5 megapixels, the 650 is stuck at VGA. What happened? When storage means 256MB and up, only 22MB can be mustered. What happened? When cell phones have been used as a modem for years, BT is crippled. What happened? When other smartphonesphones/pda's at least have had the option to use a WiFi SD card if not built-in, the 650 has neither. What happened? When their was a desire to make the best phone/pda combo where style met function perfectly, Handspring came out with the 600. With the 650 treated as the 2nd coming, what happened?.....I know! Palm bought Handspring. Eventually, the original innovators left, hence innovation dissipated. Granted with the 650, we were all expecting just simple improvements to keep up with the times, which there were several, however, they were more cosmetic and not substanstial enough to keep up with other smartphones. The 600 was so great because it broke all the rules and was ahead of the game in their relative product. When something is so successful, it wants more of the same, maybe it's because "they" felt they missed the so-called ipod explosion mentality with the initial short supply of the 600. The 600 was successful, because there was no other device like it. Now, there are several already competing for the top spot as the treo killer. Is this supposed to be round 2? It's more like the dreaded Windows upgrade. Are my expectations too high? Am I dreaming for something impossible to have? The funny thing is that awhile back I was asked to fill out an extensive survey regarding my opinion of my newly purchased 600, giving in detail what I liked and didn't like about my treo. A year later, I have to ask again. What happened?

[Paul Williams @ Dec 19th 2005 12:05AM]

OK. We are always looking at cool phone/PDA devices here at work.

We have had the Nokia Comm, the New Nokia with the flip keypad (god I hate Nokias menu system, but the keyboard is cool), the Treo 600, the blackberry and now as of today the SonyEricsson P910i.

Of em all, I loved the Treo 600 the most. The downside, no bluetooth, crap camera, no wifi.

The CPU was fine, the memory didn't matter 'cos I slipped in a decent SD card. So, with the new phone what has changed? Why buy it really.

Bluetooth is nice, but I can do without to be honest, since it has a cool IMAP client (snappermail) I do not need to connect with my laptop.

I really do not see why you would buy the 650 instead of the 600.

Hope the Ericsson is good, but it will take something to beat the Treo 600. Everything worked. Won't bother checking the new one though.

[Tony @ Dec 19th 2005 12:05AM]

Can the Treo (600 or 650) be used as a wireless modem on the Verizon network, when attached to a laptop PC? I'm using a Samsung i700 now, hate the performance, but need the wireless modem feature almost as much as I need the on-board email, browsing, sms, etc. Hoping someone can answer this question for me.

Thanks, in advance, for the help...

[daniel gil @ Dec 19th 2005 12:05AM]

this is going to be remembered as one of the biggest disappointments in the history of technology. this upgrade is like upgrading to windows 2000 when everybody else is on windows xp. its just plain ridiculous. i have no idea how the people at palm thought that these minor improvements were going to sell anywhere. maybe it to attract customers that have never owned a smartphone or even heard of one. it just doesnt make sense. and for $650 it just isnt worth it. might as well get the treo 600 for half the price and about the same features. i am a current treo 600 owner and have replaced it 6 times, 7 with tomorrows exchange(vibrate does not work anymore), all because of manufacturer defects. the first time i bought it the day it came out and the phone went blank after just 8 hours, the next 3 times the receiver went out after about a month, the 5th because the screen was turning white after about 2 weeks, and the most recent because it was freezing up everytime i received a call this happened as soon as i got the phone. i was very excited when i heard the treo 650 was going to be released especially cause i heard it was going to have a 1.3mp camera, and possibly a readylink feature for sprint and of course less problems than what i had with the treo 600. now i can finally say that i will be stuck with the treo 600 until a better phone is released.

[Dennis Chien @ Dec 19th 2005 12:05AM]

I've been really happy with my treo 600 (sprint) since January. People ask about the phone quite frequently.
I tell them "It's changed my life."

The phone is straightforward and the speakerphone performs remarkably well. I've impressed people by tossing it on the table to hook people up during meetings when the expensive room model wasn't working well.

I love the web browser and use it frequently. I also really like the automatic switch over to phone mode by clicking on a number in a website.

It was easy to become really good at note taking in real time with the little keyboard. I wish I knew a way of loading larger size text documents into the system. Any ideas?

I love the MP3 player from Pocket Tunes which was free after filling out a survey on the Palm site. I live off the 3.5 hours of music on a 256 Meg chip at the gym with headphones and in the car with a Belkin FM transmitter. I can swap out the music easily with a card reader on my desktop machine where all my MP3s live.

I purchased the amazing Firepad software which makes the most of the screen resolution showing pictures from any source. I use it for personal snapshots of the family as well as showing business images. Oddly, the pictures it takes are better if you view them on a computer, or if you convert to firepad and reload them on the treo. Still, I agree that the camera is weak. I only use it when I don't have a choice.

I have accidentally become pretty good at Texas Hold 'Em with through thousands of hands against the AIs on the software I purchased from Concrete Software.

I fooled around with POP3/SMTP Email from the treo but decided I really didn't want to make it happen. SMS Email has worked out fine for quickie messages from the phone and I never get spam on it.

I was strangely thrilled by the ease of transferring the company phone directory into the PDA and how handy that's turned out to be while I'm out of the office.

Finally, the sync with outlook makes managing my meetings at work and personal appointments easy. This was actually my original need/excuse for looking for a handheld device. Suprisingly, it turns out that I actually satisfied it.

Even if bluetooth is the only single real upgrade in the treo 650, if the same rebates happen for the 650 through amazon and sprint that enabled my $150 purchase price for my 600, I would do it again in a flash and give my 600 to my wife (who doesn't really need it). I still don't see a better package for what I need.

Would I spend $650 for it? Of course not.

[Bob German @ Dec 19th 2005 12:05AM]

I'm of the opinion that the camera was the easiest thing to skimp on. In fact, I think they should offer a model of the Treo without it. There are a lot of places that won't let you take it in because of the camera (gov't installations, etc.) and if I have a meeting and can't bring my PDA, I'm a bit crippled. Besides, if I need a camera, I'll use my camera. I'm happy that they enhanced the resolution of the screen, I'm happy that they added Bluetooth, and I'm happy that they made the battery removable.

[twrecks @ Dec 19th 2005 12:05AM]

Hey TREO 650 Marketing and DESIGNER LEAD, VPs, Marketing Co., etc: You had better start looking for new jobs!!! Classic, visceral grass roots reaction to reasonable expectations not met. As much as we liked the 600 we are now stunned into frustrated whining and depression - like the Cardinals, I guess. Momentum go bye,bye. Did you just need the write-off of a loss? Are you driving the stock price down for personal gain? Well, I gotta go, time to call my buddy in one of Motorola's phone development groups and beg for a prototype or maybe I could find an old 'W' on ebay for a few bucks? Why would you want to GIVE MICROSOFT MARKET SHARE AT THIS POINT!!! I wonder if you forgot to bring in the 12 year olds to the focus groups? I'll bet everyone will now be looking for the treo killer to dump their 500-600 clams instead of holding out for the Treo 700! Forget the secrecy thing and build a great phone!!! How did secrecy help you guys this time? Yipes!

[Rich @ Dec 19th 2005 12:05AM]

Wow, what a disappointment. I was really hoping for more memory, faster processor, wi-fi built-in. Why upgrade? My 600 will have to last longer. Can't justify moving to the 650 when the improvements are minor not as I had hoped.
The new pocketpc's look better and better all the time.

[PierDeux @ Dec 19th 2005 12:05AM]

From what I see, the winners are Me ... and the Telco.

I win because of the fancy Push-synchronisation from Outlook without having to force my Company into Pricey BlackBerry server.

I win because I'll love the much better defined screen ( I'll see more of the internet, I'll use the HiRes skins for pTunes, access to better games, etc)

I win because I'll have an improved browser, and a more effective eMail client with better .Doc and .PPT Viewer.

I win because the removable battery will be a bonanza,

BUT the Telco will win too, and seems to have MUCH TOO MUCH influenced the design , by keeping out features that would have impacted negatively their ARPU ( but positively my bill...)

The reason to keep a crappy camera is ..otherwise you just would NOT send them in overcostly-overlengthy MMSes.

The Reason why NO WiFI is otherwise you would soon see some Skype / Voice OverIP that you would use instead of over Charged GPRS, just as you would browse the net and synchronize your outLook without paying AirTime...

Etc...

SO , PalmOne, why not a "carrier-independant" model soon with the right profile of features ?
Until it shows, i'll stay where i Am...

Who really uses their phone as even a semi-serious camera? It's for snapping silly shots to be instantly sent but never printed! Do you want a fricking $1,000 phone with every stupid bell and whistle??

[Sean @ Dec 19th 2005 12:05AM]

Anyone out there buying a PDA for the camera is a bit silly. That is not the point of the product. If it is a deal breaker, so be it. That's a bit like buying ring tones. What a waste of money.

[eddie @ Dec 19th 2005 12:05AM]

I think camera is important. Look, Samsung has 5 MP phone and treo? 0.3MP?.... that is insulting to us, our fellow gadget seekers. This is lack of innovation. Keep in mind that people buy technology products not just because of practicality reason. We always wanted to be the first one to experience the thrill of holding the first x, the first y. So why did you buy Treo 600? Sorry PalmOne, I guess I have switch to other phone end of this year.

[Jos?arra Gil @ Dec 19th 2005 12:05AM]

I use my Treo 600 for business and couldn't live without it. I am happy to hear that with the 650 they have improved the headset speaker so I don't have to have the phone perfectly positioned on my ear to hear. I also like a removable battery. I would gladly give up the camera for a smaller form factor. I will still buy it the moment that it is available, regardless of price.

[daniel gil @ Dec 19th 2005 12:05AM]

I had to unlock the TREO 600 I bought in the States to work with European SIMs. In Italy, smart phones are not locked so this was new for me. I would greatly appreciate your counsel on how to get the TREO 650. I work all over the place and the TREO has changed the way I work for the better.

[Littlewarrior @ Dec 19th 2005 12:05AM]

What a waste of money... and company productivity! I agree, PalmOne's PR dept should be FIRED and replaced with one that actually considers consumer opinion. Advice for PalmOne: For the money, SHELVE the T-650; GET RID OF "Blahtooth", ELIMINATE the camera (that's why separate better-pixelated digitals are still made & some military installations won't allow them!), UPGRADE and INCREASE memory and processor speed, oh and WIDEN & put a non-slick COATING on the keyboard. (My thumbs are a bit wider than the buttons & have a tendency to slip off them.) If the phone must have a camera, then Please upgrade to 1.3 mp. Also, can they make it less vulnerable to ElectroStatic Discharge or make a rubberized carry-case? I've shorted out four T-600s in eight months just by touching them when stressed. :(

Does the 600 work with Mac Entourage, like MS Outlook? Will the 650 work with entourage on a Mac? Is 600 reliability still an issue? The 650 is pricey not to be totally reliable.

[Leah G @ Dec 19th 2005 12:05AM]

Sadly, the GSM version won't be available for at least another two months. YouNeverCall is offering the Sprint version right now, which has its upside, unless you want to travel abroad and switch SIMs... on the other hand, Sprint's data is a lot faster than T-Mobile/Cingular/ATT, so you win some, you lose some. I'm also really upset about the camera... I don't have a camera, and I was hoping to get a camera along with the phone... guess i'll either wait for a better phone or buy something with a decent camera...

The PDA that I'm dream for is PDA that have the min req like this:
===============================
* CDMA PHONE WITH RUIM CARD
* CAMERA MIN 1.3 MEGA PIXEL
(MORE RESOLUTION WILL BE ADVANTAGE)
* HAVE BLUETOOTH + WIFI AND INFRA RED
* HAVE USB SLOT FOR CONNECTING WITH OTHER DEVICES
* HAVE MEMORY REMOVEABLE AND EXPANDABLE CARD

Maybe the vendor can response the market demand to expand the technology to its product

1) Use Bluetooth (well, it's used all over the place on Macs, and very nice, sorry you non-bluetooth-having PC folk, it's a great technology, excellent way to synchronize contacts, send files, etc.)
2) Don't care about the cam resolution- get a stinkin' real digicam for that... man, you moaners
3) Will love the new screen rez

I currently own a nokia 6600 and it's OK but I miss my Palm apps... and the nokia interface is not very well-designed. I may switch

Just received my Sprint Treo 650 yesterday. So they have shipped if anyone else is waiting. Am travelling so haven't had a chance to use it yet.
