Before you know it, you have spent $1000 - Treo Forums

tj8212 · 01-17-2006, 07:15 AM

I don't know if my Treo expenditures are getting out of control, but just reviewing 2005 costs and it looks like I spent at least an additional $500 on software and accessories, without even realizing it. Yikes!!!!
So were is all this money going... Take a look at this

Yep! That seems about right

Which is why they would have to pry the Palm OS from my cold, dead fingers...there is no way I am abandoning all the software I have invested in!:mad:

lulugirl,

I just got started with this thing! Just placed an order at the Palm - 2 of everything - me and my wife.

Unlocked 650
Piel Frama Case
Screen protectors
extra battery
extra charger that will take the extra battery
Stylus pen
2Gb expansion
a couple of books

And a little over 2k out of the pocket. I am sure there will be more spent. And just wait, I expect a newer GSM very soon - now that I got this

.

Well, with the exception of the piel frama cases everything (hopefully!!!) should work on a new Treo version... Treat your 650 lightly... it will help you get more when you sell it on ebay to fund your new Treo!

The real question is: is it worth the $1000?

What's with "the exception of the piel frama cases" are they not a good case/bad fit?

Rumor has it, that the next Treo will be much thinner and without the antenna, so a lot of the cases, not just Piel frama will not be compatible . .

Thanks,

Had me worried there for a while. I didn't mean, in my erlier response that I would buy a new Treo when it came out, just that Palm would put one out so that mine would be obsolete. Some may think that they have already done that with the 700w, but from what I understand, the 700w cannot be used as an "international phone" & I need that capability.
