Here is a list of software that I tried that doesn't seem to work:
Brightcam
Takephone
Butler - Tells me that it will only work on the 600
Textplus
Backup Man
I hope the programmers have a fix for these soon.
Supposedly, Butler 2.22 should work on the Treo 650, or at least that is what is documented on PalmGear.
I still haven't provisioned the 650 yet. Im still testing my programs. Im having an issue with Pocket Quiken. I've contacted PQ. Anyone gotten it to work yet? Re: post that you're returning 650, these bugs will be gone within 2 - 3 weeks.
zlauncher- has anyone installed zlauncher??? I'm too afraid to as I finally got everything else installed and running smooooooooooothly
PS add ATUM to the list of NOT WORKING on 650, or maybe it was just my phone. I'm going to try again today as I got a response from maker that it should work fine. It did not cause a reset but none of 'atums' showed up when center button was pushed or stylus was used.
I'm just struggling with Lightwav - It doesn't do contact ring tones as of yet. And we ALL know how toysoft is. I have no worries about Butler, the gentleman that writes that program is ALWAYS on top of it.
so far apps i have restored safely from BackupMan with no problems as of yet:
Compatible:
-PocketTunes Pro
-Resco Image Viewer (though im getting rid of it cuz the internal album thing is so much more improved)
-BackupMan 1.45
-Launcher X 1.1
-MMPlayer
-MobileTs
-PalmVNC
-PowerRun (thank god)
Incompatible
-NES EM
.. more to come in both areas im sure. i just got it a few hours ago!
ill edit appropriately.

Reason: addition
I am deleting my new thread on this topic and adding to yours. I hope the mods can sticky this as you suggested. So far, I have:
Datebk5 - works (recent p3 release seems stable)
TreoGuard - works (screen on/off, radio controls working)
Butler - works (new version needs to be dl'd)
Crash - works (new version now available)
Handmark Express - works
iNoah - works
SplashPhoto/ID/Shopper - works
BackupMan - works (backup and restore)
CardBackup - works (backup only tested)
Fileman - works
Filez - works
Undupe - works
Metro - works
Mobipocket - works
MobileDB - works
iSilo - works
FlightStatus - works
SuperNames - works, mostly (can't dial numbers, can't beam or send)
TakePhone - broken (nav pad and screen draw issues; developer notified)
Directory Assistant - crashes my 650 on launch
AutoSlate - crashes on launch
McFile - won't display RAM
HiLauncher - broken (won't launch items in menu properly)
i can pass along that treotools does NOT work, and neither does AOL 3.1 for palm. however aol 3.2 for palm 5.0 DOES work. i did not buy aol for the treo600.
also, splash ID and splash Photo both work fine, as does bejeweled, and my midi ringtones (no real surprise there). will have to play with some wav and mp3 files next
just tried the most recent version of megalauncher, and ended up in a reset loop... seems to work OK on second attempt.

Change is a challenge to the adventurous, an opportunity to the alert, a threat to the insecure.
Has anyone noticed DateBk5 hijacking the Phone button? After installing DateBk5-v5a-p3 and specifically telling it not to remap any of the buttons, it still remaps itself to the Phone button and there appears to be no way to get it back. Sadly, the Prefs application does not even allow you to remap the Phone button. Anyone else come across this problem?
What's the deal with ShadowPlan? Is it because of the linking to the built-in databases? That and Hi-Launcher not working are deal breakers for me. I attended the DC roadshow yesterday to get a coupon, and I might not even use it given all these incompatibilities along with the memory issue.
Read your great work on T5 over there at 1src. Glad that you are on treocentral now and help us with the software compatability issue. Look forward to your Treo 650 review if you ever decide to get one.
Jboogie - I notcied this as well. It binds to the phone button rather than the cal button, and the button settings wont allow you to modify what the phone button is mapped to (despite the fact that it's changed). Only way I could find to fix was a hard reset. Luckily I hadn't installed much yet.
I see people having prob's with hi-launcher - I'm running it with no probs...
TreoGuard seems to work okay... But I had a break-the-floor-I'm-standing-on moment with PocketProtector+... Without thinking, I set everytging to "Off" except the Power Button, which I had previously set to "2x" on my T600. Well, without a power button on the T650, I was left with a locked-off device and no way to turn it on! In fact, many of the buttons don't seem to behave as they should on the T650.
I had no problems using it against my PC running Windows XP Pro SP1. I successfully copies files to and from my 512mb SD card with no problems whatsoever.
Treoguard works unless you select the option to use the power button to turn the screen on during a call. When you use the power button to do this, it hangs up on the current call. There needs to be an option to use a different button.
Also, where is the option to turn the screen off during a call with the built in app?
