Treo 650 owners rejoice! Your smartphone may have started out as something of a bastard stepchild (albeit one with a great lineage), with memory glitches and crippled features. But it continues to come of age, with free memory upgrades, feature-restoration hacks and third-party software helping the phone live up to its potential. Now there's one more item to get psyched about: iGolf Technologies has released an SDIO GPS unit designed specifically for the 650. The $250 package includes iGolf's own iGolfgps software, and a discount on Mapopolis Navigator. And, yes, iGolf's software is tailored for golfers, so if you want to find your way around anything more than your favorite green, you'll need to spring for Navigator.
To bad the 650 still does not have GSM (SIM Card) as advertised on PalmOne website though... I live in alaska, we don't have sprint, but do have GSM networks so until PalmOne can live up to there ads, its just one big fat tease.
Did anyone hear anything new about VZW Treo 650 release date? Thx
Cingular is hinting at having their GSM available beginning of February, which should be good news for you onebluehaze. VZW takes an ice age to deploy phones under the pretense of testing... check what happened with their Moto710.
-Soon to be an ex-VZW customer.
i also live in alaska. and as soon as the GSM Treo comes out... you can sign up for cellone ... get the free phone... pop the SIM from it and put it in any unlocked GSM Treo 650 on ebay (or expansys) and it'll work fine.
seeing as the Treo 650 GSM isn't out yet... it seems like you are complaining about release dates over anything else.
of course by the time it happens the Treo 650 will be pretty out of date... since it basically already is. in addition to having started out as a major disappointed.
Actually, I prefer something that uses the 650's Bluetooth. I think I read, on Treo Central that someone has already got something like this working, using software for the T5 on the 650...
Still, this isn't a bad price for an all-in-one SD GPS solution.
I also live in alaska and as soon as its morning we can hook up the dogs and sled all the way to civilization to buy this new invention called a telephone. Ever heard of one??
