Big surprise everybody, the
Palm Treo 680 is coming to... wait for it... Cingular. Right, we know,
we all figured it was coming to Cingular anyway, but we snagged an internal Treo 680 PowerPoint doc and now we know for sure. It'll have everything we've been expecting: Palm OS 5.4.9 with that new five-tabbed quick access (dial pad, favorites, home screen, contacts, call log), quad-band GSP / GPRS / EDGE, 312MHz XScale processor, 2.2-inch 320 x 320 display, SDIO, Bluetooth 1.2, IR, PocketTunes, 1200mAh battery, and a 4.41 x 2.36 x 0.88-inch body weighing in at 5.28 ounces. Oddly, Cingular also made mention of a few things in their "confidential and proprietary" document that we found a little puzzling: listed with their compatible email clients, it mentions XpressMail, Good, BlackBerry Connect and... "Microsoft Direct Push (Q1,'07)"? Huh? Ok, so maybe the Cingularian who threw this document together didn't know his biz as well as s/he might have, but either way at least now we know for sure orange customers can expect theirs soon.

Yeah, the 750 uses mini, but the 680 has regular SD.
Ahhh...
Must...hold...out...for....750c GSM WinMo5 flavor....
must....hold...out...
I personally really want the 750 for Christmas, for it Wi-Fi and Windows Mobile. I perosnlly really want Wi-Fi, Becuase I have it at school, work, and home, and I hate data transfer pricing(EVIL)
Yes, Yes, we've heard this over and over. Please give us a release date! Also, will Cingular have the colored 680's or just graphite?
In response to #4, I know I won't be able to hold out for the 750. Hopefully, the 750 will come out within 30 days of my 680 purchase.
I dont think the 750 will have Wi-Fi just to let you know..........at least the 750v didnt........
Wi-Fi would be nice tho
Oh fine cingulair have your 680, it's okay, tmobiles getting the Q for $50 this december right? lol
the damn thing uses mini sd the girl in my class has one her daddy is an engineer for palm
Why are the phones in the above pic different?
Does anyone know when it ships and what the price will be?
What? No HSDPA? Yikes!
According to the Palm Website it has "Support for MultiMediaCard, SD, and SD I/O cards", Also a Cingular rep in Memphis told me that they should have the 680 sometime the beginning of next month, baring no delays from Palm.
Will be out in Nov price... now this is what the palm rep told me... $199 after rebate on a 2 year.
