I have the VM4500 and the screen went bad and i really like the treo....I cant seem to decide if i want the 600 or 650, I can get a used treo off ebay for like 300 bucks but a 650 would be double that price, the only REAL difference is bluetooth which i dont care about, what i DO care deeply about is screen resolution and camera, and that sucks on the 600 the processor speed doubled on the 650, and the fact it has dedicated talk and end keys which is not a big deal along with a built in mp3 player versus a downloadable one and a new email client whihc is the same thing basically....so is just a better screen worth paying like an extra three hundred or is it almost basically the same thing?? just some honest opinions from some currnt and prospective owners would be nice...

You can get the 650 for $450 if you hurry. Think its the 25th the promotion ends.

Wow, you have a crap load of commas and no real periods.

But seriously, I personaly would go for the 650 even for double the price for a few reasons. Yes, the screen is better, camera too, but the major reasons are a more ergonomic key layout, more intuitive menus/op for phone side, and REMOVABLE BATTERY. I can't tell you how many times the 600's battery was going to die and I didn't have my chargers readily available. Now I have 3 batteries, one in the car, one in the briefcase, and one on the phone.

The browser on the 650 is much better, the screen is better, the sd card socket fully protects the card.

worth the difference, also if you get a phone on ebay, you are getting a used phone not a new one.

Of course the savings are with new phone numbers etc. Good luck!

With that link even if you get a new phone number, its a mail in rebate... I'll pass. If I am connecting a brand new line on my account i would at least like an instant rebate.
