I've been wondering if I should upgrade to the 680 from the 600 and glad I held off because now I see offers for $39 (one Treo type website) and $49 (another one). But, I'm wondering if it's really worth it. If it's too good to be true............

My concerns are:
1) Warranty?
2) Penalities? (I've been with AT&T/Cingular for awhile and have no plans to leave; so would I be affected?)
3) If I change my data plan (don't have one right now), will that affect "the contract"? I read that if you lower your minutes, it would. I currently only use about 200 minutes per month and the upgrade offer would put me at 900 minutes per month for $20 more a month....... Obviously, I would start using the phone a lot more especially for long distance.
4) Have people been experiencing the "buzzing" with the 680?
5) Is the reason for the huge discount because Palm is going to come out with an even better phone in the near future for Cingular? Should I wait?
