A Crimson 680 is being shipped overnight to me!!!

Got an email from one of the Palm PRPRPR $people$ $about$ $time$ $of$ $release$ $online$ ... $gotta$ $love$ $good$ $communication$ $skills$! $Ordered$ $mine$ $right$ $up$!

**firefinder24** · 11/22/2006, 12:22 AM

Ordered mine too, the confirmation e-mail says it may take an additional 1 - 2 weeks to receive. We'll see. $427.93 - unlocked, delivered.

**gina77** · 11/22/2006, 12:23 AM

I saw that too... but at least we're one step closer. It's ordered and no one at Palm is going to cancel it! (or at least I hope they won't!)

Not a bad price! Much less than the 650 unlocked.

I'm not complaining. Now I want them to release the 750 so I can buy one of those too and see which one I like better........geez, I'm never happy!

The day has arrived and I am having trouble regarding the postal code.
I am in Canada and it is saying that there is an error message: you must enter a 6 digit postal code which I did but their is no where to change U.S to Canada which I think is the main problem

Please help, I won't be able to sleep tonite.

Caally.

Maybe they aren't available for Canada just yet? Is the CS number working this late? You can try calling and asking.

I just checked and the 680 is not listed on Palm's Canadian site.

**firefinder24** · 11/22/2006, 12:56 AM

HECK, I just read the fine print. If you order on Palm.com, they are including the music pack which includes a 1GB memory card, Palm hybrid headset, and Palm Treo 680 music cd which gets you Pocket Tunes Deluxe and a free 30 day trial to Yahoo music. All I care about is the 1GB Memory Card.......sweet!

$413.99 unlocked overnight with anti-glare\screen protectors..

Friggin finally.. geeeez. Free overnight shipping, eh?

I've never had an unlocked phone before. Why would the non-contracted subsidized Cingular phone cost $50 more than the unlocked phone?

Basically two seperate companies pricing them to their own schedule.....advantage - consumer! Also, goes to show there never was an exclusive to Cingular like EVERYONE was saying!

My conclusion, Cingular is pulling a fast one. They do this with all their phones.

Ugh, bastards.

So besides the SIM aspect and non-carrier design of unlocked, what all does an unlocked version have over a locked version?

-----Hah, you remember that PTT update coming Q1 07? I bet it's $50 cheaper because the Unlocked won't get the PTT patch.

I still think I am going to wait for the 750...The 3G network works amaaaaazing in my area and I want to be able to download mp3 ringtones....Does the 680 even support them??? Also the camera

WHAT TO DO WHAT TO DO!

**skyking517** · 11/22/2006, 01:07 AM

good point STL, but I would never USE it anyways.

PTT was one of the reasons I'm settling with the 680's specs. Without it, I'm returning the phone and getting the 750.

**skyking517** · 11/22/2006, 01:13 AM

Do u all think Palm will do the same with the 750 as far as price???? And offer an unlocked version??? anyone? anyone?

**stl08** · 11/22/2006, 01:15 AM

The 750 will be much more expensive unlocked. Hopefully they release it within 30 days so I can return the 680 if it sucks.

I hope it doesn't suck.. damn I spend too impulsively.

**skyking517** · 11/22/2006, 01:16 AM

are u getting the unlocked one????

**stl08** · 11/22/2006, 01:16 AM

Definately, it's $50 cheaper.
