About the resets… I’ve had my Treo 600 unlocked GSM (ATT/Cingular) since August 2004, and it’s only been in the last couple of months that it’s been resetting itself once or twice a day, so I don’t know if it’s really a 600/650 issue. I’ve been suspecting VeriChat Pro because the resets seem more likely with an incoming SMS — also because, after a reset, the sound preference for SMS notifications with sound on gets set to “0″.

I upgraded from a 600 to an unlocked GSM 650 - bad move. It resets 2-3 x a day, it’s as slow looking up contacts (~1800 of them, Spring cleaning time..) as the 600 and the memory doesn’t go nearly as far in the 650 as it did in the 600.

Aside from that Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?

It’s going back.

so, did your 650 work w/ your existing t-mobile sim card? I have a 600 and want to upgrade, but t-moble isn’t on board yet.

Thanks, DC

Re: multitasking OS:

“PalmSource really needs to get with it or PalmOne needs to move to a more modern OS.”

PalmSource *has* gotten with it and released Cobalt a year ago. PalmOne and all the other device makers aren’t using it, that’s all.

Sucks.
