Any unlocked GSM treo will work on T-Mobile. There are palm 600's that are locked specifically to T-Mobile but they are very outdated compared to the newer Treos and it will be next to impossible to find one anyway - unless you shop Ebay. The 650, 680, 750 and the new Centro can be used on T-Mobile if unlocked. Any Treo that is dedicated to Sprint or Verizon will not work for they do not use SIM cards. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the info, it was great help, now to find a resonable deal on one.

Good luck. I have T-Mobile too and I have had a 600 (which I loved) and currently I have a 650 and a 680. The 680 has sucky battery life but it is much lighter than the 650. But the 650 is my baby!! I absolutely love it to death. Battery life on the 650 is awesome. So make sure whichever one you pick, you ask about battery power. See ya!

That is interesting, I was scoping out a refurb 650 last night for 80.00, not sure if that is a good price or not. sometimes the old models never die or have the problems the new ones do. I thought it would be a way to see if I even like the treo. without spending a pile of money. thanks for all the input here. great info on this board.
