Just call the NBO number, punch in your FAN#, PHONE# then follow the prompts and select "check an order" and put in your order number. It will automatically give you a tracking number without talking to a rep. Should have mine by 3PM according to Fedex tracking. Also my 1GB card is due today from Fedex so the timing is good. Now if they would only release the friggin' sync cradle.

I would say "you've got your T650 and now you're whinning about the next thing," but the REALLY Sad thing is, you DON'T have your T650, and YOU'RE ALREADY WHINNING ABOUT THE NEXT THING!

Somehow you've got the nerve to come into a thread of people who DO NOT HAVE A TREO 650 AND WHINE ABOUT A CRADLE?

*KICKS MisterED OUT*

whine somewher else.

Can anyone tell me when is the GSM Treo 650 for Asia and Europe available for order ? I'm dying to upgrade my current TReo 600. Terry Wan / Singapore

Looks as though it is available now.

This is consistent with the 600. The 600 was available in Asia, at a premium, before it was available here. However, the premium may not be as high as it looks. $799- looks like it will be the opening price for the P1 unlocked version here. I paid $649- for my 600.

Why not North America, or Europe? (Actually what do I care about Europe. Why not North American?) How much longer is that going to take? This release has really soured me on Palmone as company. Go ahead, flame me for saying that, I don't care anymore.

probably because like somebody else suggested, most people check for the US site for news and they don't want to overload the system..
The asia sites probably get less traffic and can handle the extra interest..

I doubt it if they release it itn asia before the US..

I hope you're correct. My optimism is waning however. I'll admitt that I can be impatient, but I think most of us are getting a little cranky at this point. (Except you lucky few who have your ATTW phones. Personally I wouldn't want a locked phone, but hey, I'm just jealous.)

Cglaguna, HelperMonkey: Not all of the cdma phones were supposedly bad either. What we found, is no one KNEW the voice was bad until someone finally said something. Not until the user started asking people, did they find out they were choppy, voice cutting out with background noise. I don't know where you heard the voice was fixed, but I sure haven't seen it. I will believe its fixed when Palm reports that it has been. So far they have been silent, as far as I know. My guess is when you get a blue million GSM users out there all at once, you will find out for sure in a couple of days. You say the current GSM users say its fixed, but I sure haven't seen any concrete reports on how or IF this was done.

If you are waiting for P1 to say something, you will wait in vain. P1 does not say anything.

In any case, "choppy" could be CDMA specific. No reason to believe that it will appear in GSM until it does.

I do not understand. Seems to me it is already available in NZ and PH. What am I missing?

[ToolkiT]

Try to buy one in NZ.. and you'll see you can't...

Because they have neither dominant carriers or exclusivity agreements in Asia. For example, Hong Kong has six GSM carriers. Outside the US, S. Korea and Japan, most carriers are GSM.

Well one again I am not sure what you mean when you ask me if I have seen reports that is if fixed as I have a 650 GSM and would go so far as to say it is likely I have had mine much longer than most. I have tested my voice quality. Unless you have a suggestion on how I test it further I don't have anything to say but that the quality is good. My simple test - call my office phone and leave messages using my phone and my bluetooth headset. You COULD be right, maybe I don't know the quality sucks, hey anything is possible. If it was fixed, the how is via different software. The GSM version has different software. Once again, have any ideas how I would prove that it is fixed?

Did not check NZ but they list 113 dealers in PH. Of course, that does not mean that anyone has inventory. However, why bother to advertise what you do not have?

Happens all the the time.. build up some appatite.. dont think that is needed in the US

[MacUser]

Also my 1GB card is due today from Fedex so the timing is good.

What card did you buy and from where? I might as well buy something while I wait here on the couch.

I Noticed this on the Palmone Treo 650 Page & thought it was an Interesting sentiment..


So Much More Than Just Talk

Not sure if it refers to the Treo or Palmone's attitude??

Should be: NOT much more than just talk!

Just got off the phone with Cingular customer service; spoke with a woman who seemed knowledgable: "The Treo 650 HAS been launched and some of the stores have it; it's just not in OUR inventory yet". GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR....

I do not know what they call that at P1. I call it teasing.
