Palm Treo 680: Who Cares?

Via Gizmodo.com (Brian Lam):
"Ok, amidst all the buzz of the new Palm device, I'm sitting here, googling and studying stat pages, wondering whether or not we should care about the Treo 680. Compared to the 700p, it has a similar processor, screen, OS, with double the amount of RAM (64MB vs 32MB), the same amount of internal storage (64MB vs. 62MB), but lower res camera (640 by 480 vs 1280 by 1024). The case is the same size, but now without an external antenna. Sure, they're GSM models, so you're likely to see these phones on US carriers like T Mobile and Cingular. And they come in 3 new colors: white, orange, and red. I understand its supposed to be lower end, but I still expect more from Palm than taking a setup we're known for a year and making it a few bucks cheaper. Is this innovation?"

Hey,
I went to the palm booth today at the javis center in nyc! treo 680 looks pretty nice in my opinion, i spoken with a female rep for almost a half hour, she was banging to.
i prefer this treo over the other treos. but i'm a bb lover!

Come on! Admit it you were checking out that CSR not the Treo. We all know which one you'd prefer to take home

I really believe that the Treo's are like over-engineered, they clitch to much, a few of my friends have em. I already converted one friend to the BlackBerry!!
