Re: [ruby] Palm treo 680 Being Sold for Cingular?

[ruby]

Apparently a page on Palm's own online store now tempts us with a "Palm Treo 680 Cingular, GSM" in exchange for 349 of our hard-earned dollars. While it's no secret that we expect the 680 to grace Cingular with its presence any minute now, Inventec's apparent failure to implement a little something called quality control seemed to put the handset's release date in doubt -- Palm's page alleges that their new low-end Treo is in stock with shipment in 1-2 business days.

It's only a month late (from the initial estimate of Oct 2006 launch). The Treo 680 is now available on the Cingular network for $200. The 680 is compatible with Cingular’s GSM/GPRS/EDGE network.

The Treo 680 joins a competitive pack of handsets. Samsung’s BlackJack sells at industry’s largest carrier for $200, while Nokia’s E62, RIM’s BlackBerry 7290 and the Cingular 3125 (a clamshell smart phone from HTC) all sell at $100. (Prices require mail-in rebate and two-year contract.)

The Treo 680 model includes access to e-mail, documents, spreadsheets and a variety of messaging applications along with a digital camera, camcorder, video player and MP3 player.
