I was wondeirng if anyone has any opinions on the Treo 650. A friend offered me a new Treo 650 for pennies and am not sure if I should take it. Until recently I was using an XDA1 and loved it, but unfortunately it broke. I was wondering if palm has any decent software? I have a large collection of pocket PC software and I don't know if I want to start over from scratch. Thanks for your help.

If you're getting it for pennies, why linger?
If you don't want it, I'll have it!
There's lots and lots of Palm software, you'll have no issues there. But hardware isn't as powerful so expect different quality, but certainly no less ingenuity!

Ha Ha thanks. Does anyone know of a similar site to xda-developers that deals with Pam OS?
-Ross
treocentral google it
There are loads of forums for this, if you want some advice on palm and some links to software give me a message.
The treo 650 is a superb handset I love its pim features. After first updtae awesome. If you dont wnat sell to me, so I can use mine for a test bed.
Well I sent apple_power a PM and he never responded so I guess I'll open this up to the forum, before I put it on ebay (I despise ebay). I am going to sell my treo 650, brand new, never used from the box. I was looking for 300 pounds or a reasonable offer. If anyone is interested drop me a line in the next few days ([email protected]). Thanks. Happy Holidays.

Supposed to be out today, but O2 tell me they are not in stock. Has anyone else had any luck?
o2 are always behind the times, partly due to them always making pointless rubbish like o2 active for their phones. however as this forum is for htc devices only, i doubt there will be a forum
"Welcome to xda-developers.com
This site is about certain PDA-phones, made by a secretive firm called HTC in Taiwan. Their makers named them 'Wallaby', 'Himalaya', 'Blue Angel', 'Wizard' and 'TyTN', but almost nobody knows them by those names. The mobile provider O2 sells them under the brand-name 'XDA', and that's what we had in our hands first. They're also known as Qtek, MDA, SX-56, Hermes and many, many other names..."
from the xda portal, there used to be a section which said something like this-
"the only things not wrong about the site name/address are the dash and the dot..."
it should really be called something like
www.devices-manfactured-specifically-by-htc-developers.com
says v in this thread
I don't quite get your point, I am not asking for a forum on it. I can guarantee you that many people from this forum are looking into getting this phone, so i thought it was a good place to ask.
Can you suggest any other forums (which name themselves properly) that might be of more help?
I rang o2, who said they wil no longer stocking this handset... pretty lame really.

Absolutely - I rang them on Friday and they said they were still all on for the Zinc. However, someone on one of the Universal forums said there were real problems with it.
The imate ultimate looks a better bet. Shame O2 won't have the taste to go for it.

I looked at your other posts, including why is this forum just htc? and because this is your second thread about the xda zinc, i just thought it would be like asking about a nokia or blackberry release (which generally doesn't happen). That said, I really hope you or someone else gets one because unless o2 make another horribly slow rom, I want one. And this is the only place where people are likely to talk specifically about it, and I/we can find out if it's any good...
I guess that clears it up, or not
It is a crap..I returned to the dealer in two days..very buggy..takes long time to get on to network..one has to manuallt set the GSM only then it detects and logs on to GSM networks..very thick and bulkier than Hermes...and as usual O2 crap is there.with some crap from Asus..

Just spoken to O2 - they are now going to release the "Trion" at the beginning of April, which looks like it is a Hermes.

REALLY??? I've been hassleing o2 for the trion for ages. Was told its only out in Germany, the UK gets the Zinc. I really hope you're right!!
EDIT: Just called o2 myself. Indeed the Xda ZINC has officially been pulled "We are no longer going to release this phone". Instead we have the Trion (Hermes) out on 16th April, together with the o2 Argon (whatever that is...I've never heard of it and nor had the o2 guy).
Looks like I'll finally get my Hermes (although I really want the HTC Kaiser which has integrated GPS)
The Trion will be out week starting 2nd of April (yeah right, i will believe that when i see it)
And they dont have a clue what the Argon is which i find quite funny. I will ask my friend at O2 what the Argon is when he gets back from holiday.
although im going to have to wait yet another month, i guess its good news. atleast they are going to release something to replace my mini s. we'l wait and see.
I'm led to believe that the Argon is an HTC device with inbuilt GPS - go search the HTC site? Not sure the model.
Strange, as the only one with GPS on their site is already out as the Orbit.
I have heard it is a full sized business device designed to replace the XDA II/IIs. I guess all the firms using them want to upgrade?
I'm wondering if the O2 XDA Argon is actually the long-rumoured Universal replacement, the HTC Omni?

Damn this guy...
Absolutely true there guys!
This ebayer seems to be a bit of a scam. Everyone here works hard for this stuff and he sells.

I want to sell my HTC Polaris at ebay but now i think about the fact whether it is allowed to sell this device with an OS which is not the official one. Do i have to hard reset - flash so that a wm6.1 version is again on my Polaris before selling it on ebay? Now i have a wm6.5 rom.
Anybody here who sold his Polaris with wm6.5 at ebay?
Lol, i dont think it will an issue if you sell it with WM6.5, unless there are any showstopper bugs. W/O bugs you are probably better off selling it with newer OS... you will get more value if that guy isnt geek enough to know flashing ROMs.
btw i'm interested in buying it. which country are you in? PM me.
