Holy Crap! $100 TYPO?

[imported_Ramsey]

How is it that the 650 goes up $100 in 2 days? I'm a T-mobile user, was planning on getting the unlocked 650, but now it's gone from $599 to $699! That's just wrong....

Where did you see it for $699?

And it's on the palmone site, too.

I saw it on PalmOne's site also and it might be a typing error. I think that the other ones for $449 came with a calling plan and the $699 doesn't.

Yeah, the $449 one is for a Cingular plan. The $699 is for an unlocked version of the 650 for those that want to use another GSM provider (like me).

But if other carriers aren't even supporting the treo 650 yet then it makes no sense to buy an unlocked one yet. When it eventually comes out on that particular carrier then it will be less than $699 and you'll be kicking yourself in the butt for buying it so soon.

True, but word is that the 650 will be for Cingular only. No plans from T-Mobile to carry it. Whether they'll support it or not is a good question. But regardless, a $250 price difference because you don't want to use a particular carrier is insane.

Verizon will have the Treo 650 in late April or early May.
