Next limited edition

When the siliconized paint flakes off like the Zire 72 they can repackage the original 650 as the "Special Silver Black-Tie Edition." Maybe bump up the price $20. That would make another new Treo release--Ed said there would be four.

When I read about "new" models like this I wonder if this really is all Palm can bring to the game. If so, it (Palm) must be seriously hurting, if not near death. Sad. They used to be so innovative.

If you think this is one of the 4 new releases Ed mentioned you need to get off the crack...

3 new Palms for 2006 down, one 700P GSM to go for 2006. Palm should be set to dominate the mobile device market for the next 3 years before any more upgrades are needed. Woohoo!

Well of course I don't think that this is one of them that Ed referred to, but the Ed's rollout deadline for 4 new Palms is fast approaching. What I really believe is that Palm won't get them all released before this self-imposed deadline. If you then look for the 4 new ones this special edition may have to count. I'm just frustrated and tired of waiting for my TX with a phone.

Fast approaching...? it's June last I checked...

TX with a phone? No thanks. I'm sure most people are asking Palm to build sexier Treo's - not bigger and even less pocketable.

Silly person.

Of COURSE PALM will release the next two TREOs before midnite December 31st!

EXACTLY like PalmSource release Cobalt before midnite December 31st!

When a CEO promises something over and over again like this, he "delivers". Period.

Fortunately for him, HE gets to decide what he delivers!

Giggle.

[Sob].... it's so unfair.

It's a bitter little freakout that reads these reviews and looks at these pics...

I hope they saved some for the rest of the world.

Don't want to sound like a cry baby here but I want a Palm TX Black Tie Edition also! :)

Now that there is a settlement with Xerox, add single stroke Ts and Ks, etc on the TX|Black-Tie edition. ;-)

Yeah, then they could legitimately call it an upgrade too. ;)
Sign me up for the preorder!!

Others are coming

I think the cell phone manufacturer's are catching up. Nokia and Sony Ericsson are almost there to change some our minds with their E61 and P990i. I see many Blackberry models around, with my clients especially, after they saw my Treo 650. I think the added weight and advanced features are more than they need. Most don't need a camera or SD memory slot. I hope Palm's next Treo will blow everyone, but if not, I'll be ready to switch to something more modern. Treo's that have come out this year don't make me want to upgrade from the 650.
