Do they have a website or is it strictly over the phone sales?

If you want to order via the web, go to palmone.com. They're already taking pre-orders and I'm guessing theirs will probably come first. I pre-ordered mine the other day. Finally tossed a coin and decided to stay with what I know eventhough I've used both Palm and PPC (and I tend to favor PPC). My Treo has worked mostly well so I went with smaller and longer batter life.

Does the 650 have better battery life than the 600 ? Or is it about the same ?

I have already ordered the car charger, travel charger and a fancy headset from Dan's Cell Phones on Sprint. The battery is only around 30.00 verus 59.00 on Palm One. I ordered my Treo 650 last Monday from Palm because of the free BT headset. Hopefully Palm will start shipping Monday. I will check Best Buy tomorrow, the rep was supposed to save it for me as they have the 15th as the release date. I sure want to get my hands on one.

Unfortunately, "release date" and "I'm holding one in my hand" are two totally different things. I preordered a T650 from PalmOne the first day they could be preordered. My order status is still listed as "backorderd" with an estimate of 2-3 weeks for shipping...

I am curious; did you receive an email confirming shipment? I placed my order the first day but it didn't process until the 2nd day because of my ATM. So I guess that it is possible that I will rec it tomorrow. Did you get it on Sat? Thanks for replying! How does it feel? Is it worth our money? Please reply!

I contacted telesales today. One rep said that they had no idea when the 650 would be released. Another said later this week. Where did you get your information?

Just got off the phone with telesales, the fast speaking, high pitched (LoL) rep told me it would be available around Thursday/Friday and she would give me a call when it was in.

Rec the Treo 650 battery today 1900 amp has Palm One name on it. Pretty close being the same one that Palm One ships at a very good price. Not bad for 30 bucks. Photo taken by Treo 600. Hopefully our new camera will work better.

Where did you order it??


Ordered it from sprint (800-974-2221) at 1:30 pm today, but had to call about three different times to get someone who would sell it to me, so keep calling if they tell you no. Had to pay tax and shipping for Ups next day air.

Did everyone have to pay tax and shipping ? I cancelled my order with PalmOne to order at Sprint to avoid that very thing.

ericshmerick
11-17-2004, 07:34 PM
To avoid what? Tax and shipping? I have an order w/P1 but I'm pissed the manufacturer is shipping after the carrier. I went ahead and ordered a 650 from Sprint just to get it Friday...even though I had to pay taxes and shipping (and didn't get a free BT headset).

I am just kinda pissed at P1 for leaving us in the dark. "backordered" doesn't cut it when I can have it on Friday from the carrier.

NoClones
11-17-2004, 07:50 PM
Yes, to avoid tax (Shipping was free with P1). P1 told me today Sprint isn't allowing P1 to ship yet.

I still don't understand. So you ordered from Sprint to avoid tax? In my experience, P1 didn't charge tax, but Sprint did.

NoClones
11-17-2004, 08:19 PM
P1 charges tax in 3-4 states, NC is one of them. Sprint has never charged me tax on the phones I've ordered with them *Shrugs* That's why I was surprised to hear some of you state you were charged for tax and shipping.

Does SprintPCS do business where you are or are you in an affiliate market?

We pay taxes here in TX.

I'm just going to wait until next week (hopefully), for P1 to send it to me.. I'm too lazy to change my order now. ;-)

I called Sprint and told them that I wanted info on the Treo 650 but was ordering from Palmone because they had free shipping and handling and a headset. Sprint matched it. I ordered it Thursday night so I should get it tomorrow (3 day shipping). We'll see what happens.

Just got mine, can you activate it online even though it says make sure your new phone is not a pda. I assume they are talking about windows ce since you actually change your plan for that.
