Advice on upgrade

Advice please...I have a Sprint Treo 650 I love especially since I was able to get it without the camera (I go too many places that don't allow them). I would like to upgrade to get the broadband capabilities and I need a phone that will work in Europe as well as Asia. Will the 700 work or should I wait for the 750?

You will need a GSM phone if you want to use in Europe (predominant technology there). Sprint and Verizon use CDMA. That leaves you with options of the Treo 680 or the upcoming Windows Mobile powered Treo 750. The Treo 750 will offer faster internet than 680 which only supports EDGE. Treo 650 owners have commented that the 680 is faster. It falls in the middle between 650 and 750, speed wise.

Thanks Chris. Will a GSM phone work in places like China and India? My current phone does and I really can't lose that ability. Do you think the 750 will be available without the camera?

I have heard that the 680 and 750 will also have a version that will not have a camera.
