It was also mentioned that the Treo 680 is not going to be released by Cingular as they do not have an agreement with Palm for the device. I find it hard to believe based on all of the supporting information available here as well as other websites, but just wanted to report the information I received.

The tester has a blackberry 8700c on his desk. Now who would need a blackberry if this was the phone of the future. Bottom line is there are no smartphone solution for instant e-mail. Microsoft should just go ahead and buy RIM. Blackberry has a part of the market that no other company can capture! Wow this phone is so great! The tester has a blackberry 8700c on his desk.

Does this mean it works on Cingulars 3G network? My understanding is the 680 is EDGE only. I need a new smartphone very quickly and now I don't know if I should jump on the 680 next week (hopefully) or wait for the 750 and the 3G. Is there a noticable difference in the networks? I dont want to buy something that will be outdated in a month or two. “in all its high speed network glory!” Does this mean it works on Cingulars 3G network? My understanding is the 680 is EDGE only.

Makes all the more happier that I decided not wait and bought a Vodafone version from a seller on eBay. Once it arrived here in the States, I followed the unlocking instructions posted elsewhere. Within 5 mins, I had the phone unlocked. I then slipped the sim out of my existing Cingular Treo 650, and put it into the 750V. I fired it up and - WOW - it began working on Cingular's netwrok. I've had it now for about two weeks and it's worked flawlessly! Am glad to see that Cingular is really working hard to get the 750 to market…save for some software glitches in their software build.
