Just wondering why people (including site admins here) think the Verizon version of the 650 will lag as much as 2 quarters behind the Sprint version. Verizon is not the manufacturer, just a reseller. Why would they not want to offer customers the latest thing?

Verizon has an extensive testing period before it offers a phone. This apparently caused the delay of Verizon releasing the Treo 600. Since they recently started offering the 600 to their customers, it would be surprising if they offered the 650 out of the gate. Not to mention, we don't know if Verizon has tested the 650 on their network.

expect (i.e. hope, i.e. pray), now that whatever barriers are down and Treos are offered by these three carriers, that the 650 will be available to Verizon, Sprint, and Cingular around the same time, give or take a month.

I think 2-3 months will be the lag time between the initial release of the 650 and the Verizon release. I could very easily be incorrect. That's just my opinion based upon what I've seen to date.
Either way, a new Treo 650 is on the horizon - hi-rez screen and all.
