Greetings from the UK TREO HEAD'S.

Advise please.

Is the 650 alot better than the 600, or just a little?

Score's out of 10 please, with comments would be good.

THANKS.

Tricky question. Hmmm. Okay here are the differences in my opinion:

1. Bluetooth- 10 (Score based on absence in 600)
2. Screen Resolution- 8 (Based on the 600 being a 5)
3. Stability- 7 ( Assuming the Treo 600 was a 10)
4. Removable battery- 10 (Score based on absence on the 600)

So, for me the 650 gets a score of 35, against the 600 that got a 15. Depends on how vital these features are to you.

Yes, its better (overall blanket statement there).

The higher resolution screen, faster processor and BLuetooth are great as they do not contribute to lower battery life (in many usages people actually can do better with the 650 than with the 600).

Removable battery means it has longer lifetime value. Non-volitle memory ensures that weekends without the cable wont disable you for a few hours when you finally get to charge it again).

Not really any downsides that I can think of, lest you dont like the additional buttons, but other than that the 650 is a better buy (and still fully supported, whereas the 600 isnt in the Palm store and may not see any signifiant updates outside of 3rd party solutions).

The absence of the bluetooth tecnology on the 600 is what made me buy the 650 instead and spend the extra $200.00 I could not imaging my self using my treo without the headset, its to big to have it to your ear and not to mention that you will leave the screen all greassy. And what if you have to use any of the features while on a call? I know that you can use a wired headset but if you want to place a call (not recieve it) then you will have to unplug the headset to get the treo out of the case, dial, then put it back in the case and plug-it... too much.
