I say send a message to Cingular and order the Unlocked phone anyway. I think all phones should be sold as unlocked and let the cell provider focus on service content and customer satisfaction.

For what it's worth I had ordered the t650 2 days ago and cancelled it when I found out it was really not shipping yet.
When it actually does start shipping I will order it again. In 3 months who's going to care that I paid $100 more for it, not me.

Way to go Palm!!

Lets see $700 for a Palm device that 1- Doesn't have WIFI. 2- Doesn't have Cobalt. 3- And in the final blow only comes with 32MB of RAM.

All for the low low price of $700. $600 would be pushing it as is but $700? Are they freaking nuts? Thank god for carrier subsidies.

It's just one f*#k up after another for Palm, isn't it? When will they get their crap together?

Besides, isn't there an unlocking kit for the Treo 650 yet? You can find one for just about every other device out there.
