My Copper 680 came in last night. I was quite pleased with it when I reviewed it, and therefore i have one to replace my oft maligned/resetting way too much lately 650.
Currently on my desk I have a 650 (Cingy), 680 (unlocked), and a 750 (Cingy). The new design is much nicer. Though, the 750 and 680 do have some interesting differences between them - for example, the bottom of the 750 is more plump than the 750. It's a touch more comfy for me to type on the 680 with just that little change. All in all, not revolutionary, but simply solid devices in the 750 and 680.

...this: == "...Our new Treo 680 is priced by the carrier at $199, about half of what our Inquiring minds wanna know! RE: What happened to...
Boring. Yep, but it is very attractive in person. Palm did well on the looks IMO. Pat Horne RE: What happened to...
I would buy a midnight blue (something like the 750 or TX) in a heartbeat. Hopefully the next Treo will offer this. RE: What happened to...SeldomVisitor @ 2/6/2007 6:23:03 AM #
Giggle...three months is forever in the cell-phone universe. I think if someone cared enough to complain about the CEO's words, they might get what they cared enough about. [let us not forget "The Classic Cobalt Example" of "ship by end of year"...] RE: What happened to...SeldomVisitor @ 2/13/2007 12:04:30 PM #
Looks like they're finally going to be selling them cheap: -- http://www.palm.com/us/products/smartphones/treo680/ See the footnotes. RE: What happened to...SeldomVisitor @ 2/13/2007 12:05:56 PM #
Oh...one extra note/commentary - the wording is unusual:
== "...Palm will begin selling Cingular-branded Treo 680 models which the PALM-pessimist in me says suggests that perhaps Cingular itself is not.
wow... colors!!!
I find it amusing how easily we're misdirected from shortened battery life and other internal limitations just by painting pretty colors all over these.
Perhaps taking a cue from the automobile industry, form over substance will keep people distracted for a while. But, as the American auto companies have been told over and over - function and reliability wins in the long run....

The Copper (orange) Treo 680 is now back in stock at the 
#1 It's the best seller (I would have gotten it if CNG had carried)
#2 Palm is selling at least one variety of 680 faster than expected and outsold it's supply chain. That's a nice problem to have.
The 680 is weak on camera, battery, and form factor, but I love what Palm has done to make it work properly on a day to day basis. Light years ahead of the 650 (beta) in my experience.
