there are reports on treocentral, that some users have been able to order (and get) the gsm 650 from cingular/att.

you have to be lucky and get a csr who is willing to look for it.

rumor has it that cingular will announe officially on the 3rd.

The GSM 650 also launched here in NZ Yesterday - it is a beautiful thing :-)

 It is great for PalmOne to regain some lost ground

This is obviously good news for PalmOne. The real question is "Why didn't they release the Treo 650 for the rest of the world yet?"

The world will end in 2006. Just as it was predicted in the bible along with the release of Microsoft Longhorn.... :p

 CHINESE CHARACTER

I JUST WONDER IF THE TREO650 CAN SEND AND RECEIVE CHINESE CHARACTER SMS BETTER THAN TREO600.

What do you mean by better? I think Treo 600 (HK Version) can already send and receive Chinese SMS messages.
