The specs for the 650 state that PALM OS 5.4 will be preinstalled in the phone, but it doesn't specify if it is "Garnet" or not. I know that the most recent Tungsten specs state "Palm OS 5.4 Garnet," where the 650s specs state "Palm OS 5.4" without any mention of Garnet. Garnet has some great foreign character set features that would make me want to switch from the 600, but I can't find out whether or not the 650 uses Garnet or not. Anyone have a clue?? :confused:

I don't think it's Garnet.

P1 has "renamed" 5.x to Garnet but the charactor set may be a feature of that handheld you saw. Since P1 and HS are one now and the 650 is there first child of the treo line together (T5/Te2) was really their first child. (what a letdown there) I would guess you will see alot of crossover.

as always I could be wrong
