Just wanted to pop in and say, I hope on Monday I'll officially be able to post here as per the thread title

Yeah, we've all been doing lots of creeping.

FedEx lists the package for mine as three pounds.

Fedex lists the package for mine as two pounds...
Anything else shipping with yours? Mine should just be the phone, already received the other crap.

Ah, I'm getting just the 650 from them, & I have yet to receive the "other crap."

...I have to send my brand new Treo as soon as my brother gets it in the US to me in Germany. Since I do not want to loose any time, can somebody post the size and weight of the parcel it shipped in?. I ordered some accessories as well, will my brother be able to fit a case for the treo and a headset in the box as well?

I got the following and FEDex says "Weight 4.0 lbs."

Treo 650 with USB cable
Treo 650 Essentials Kit
Lifestyle Guide
Standard Battery for Treo 650
Handmark Express Weather

I was thinking that, when I read that. Thought you'd estimate -- probably no more than 12 ounces.

FedEx tells me that the package weighs three pounds. That is probably the weight on which the rate is based rather than the actual rate. That is, the weight is not more than 3 pounds.

Extremely happy for you!

PalmOne cancelled my order at the requests of Cingular. They say I had too many orders and that I needed to return a Sony Ericsson T237. So I re-ordered last night. It should arrive Tuesday or Wednesday at the lastest.

Thanks whmurray,

My mother gave me good advice many years ago about it being more intelligent to say I don't know than to force something. I was trying to be helpful, but I came off sounding like one of those "competent" Cingular customer service reps. One of the benefits of getting older is the ability to self-deprecate and not "feel" deprecated or caring what anyone thinks.

Did you decide on getting a 650 or are you going to wait a while longer?

.......Did you decide on getting a 650 or are you going to wait a while longer?

I am afraid those two options are not mutually exclusive. However, I no longer expect to have to wait until March.

I was wondering if someone could post the file from a unbranded unlocked Treo 650 to see what the differences are.

Congratulations. Yippee. After you charge it up, tell us what you like the most about it? Also, tell me if Documents ToGo comes installed?

Favorite items list:
1. It Acctualy works as a phone (Unlike my last three t600's)
2. The display, Very Nice.
3. It Acctualy works as a phone


Just installed the software that came with it & Terminal services for palm and Mochasoft 5250 emulator. It synced nicely with Outlook first time. I set up versamail for my corporate e-mail account & Gmail all work great.

4.It Acctualy works as a phone

Unfavorite Item List:
1. appears to have quita bit of lag when working with blazer..
2. It did a Soft reset on me when i recieved a call waiting tone while in the middle of a call. Going to try to create that situation again to see if it is just a fluke or a consistant problem..

I just got my 650 from Cingular. I'm so happy today!

Fedex said the weight was 3lbs. This thing is sooo much nicer in person. I already ordered a belt holster from proclipusa and it should arrive on Monday.

Blazer is waaaay faster on this than my 600!

I haven't experienced any anomolies like soft resets or anything (but I've only had it for 2 hours).

I'm suprised that it didn't come with any kind of case. At least the 600 came with that lame slip cover thing.

Apparently! You lucky *******!
Funny, mine left sort facility in Memphis, TN @ 5:08am and arrived at sort facility in Los Angeles at 5:24am. How did they pull that off.
16 minute flight!

Two hour difference in time. FedEx owns Memphis Airport at 5am.

[millerhifi]

That would make sense. I wasn't sure if the tracking results show local time (pst) or it's local in both time zones.

The difference in time is part of the reason that a SF resident got his on Friday. When the flights leave Memphis at 5am it is 3am in SF but already 6am in NY.

Uh Huh ...... first post. Standard Overnight delivery on a Saturday. I smell a troll. Once it gets delivered post your full tracking number.

I don't know about you all, but my Treo is now sitting at a Sort Facility in Boston (where I live). Has anyone tried to get FedEx to let you pick it up on the weekend instead of waiting for it to come on Monday? Not sure if they'd allow for that sort of thing...

Others have already reported here that they have tried and been told that the packages have already been sorted by truck for Monday delivery. So the short answer is no.
