Well put!

Sounds like this is the famed lowrider that will be priced at $199. I'm curious as to the differences between the 650 and 680 considering the price points are about the same.
Ah hell, it's 30 more, it must be better.

As has been the history, the leaky faucet is now a become a full blown pipe. Images were found at PalmGear revealing both a Cingular branded Treo 680 and a Cingular branded Treo 750 (a Cingular version of the 750v). Check out the blog entry for more details and glorious imagery of the Treo 680 and Treo 750. I love excitement on a Saturday morning.

And for the lazy.. here's the 680.

So even though its not ground breaking, I am glad to see some of the new Palm stuff making its way to Cingular
I would venture to guess that you take a stock 650, add High speed data radio, ptunes, and drop it in a 750 case and you get . . . . . . . . 680

If it doesn't have an antenna, how the heck am I supposed to pull it out of my pocket?

It actually has gold chains attached so you can wear it around your neck as "Bling" like Flav-a-Flav's clocks.

Apples & oranges. The 750 runs Windows, while the 680 looks like it will run PalmOS. If you're starting from scratch, you're in great shape! Choices up the ying yang.
