Keep in mind, it's a Palm. I currently use a Treo 600. I've got 60
apps on it (including the stuff preinstalled.) I've still got 6mb
free, and if I fill that I can delete a couple MP3s that I have loaded
into the Palm's memory to use as phone ringers. I also have mutiple
e-mail accounts setup on the thing, and there is probally a bit of
browser cache in there.

The internal memeory of the Treo is small compared to other handhelds,
but Palm applications don't need that much memory as applications for
say, Windows Mobile do. (Is anyone supprised?)

Unlike a Windows Mobile computer, the screen on the Treo isn't well
suited for web browsing. I'm sure the Treo 650 is better, but I didn't
buy a Treo to surf the web. I bought it because I was tired of
carrying my cell phone and my palm all the time. The Treo may be big
for a phone, but it does take up less room than a Palm and a phone. ;)

At best, the Treo 650 is an incremental upgrade over the 600. There
isn't really much of a draw for Treo 600 users, unless you for some
reason need a better built in camera (a gimic feature at best, I
perfer my digital camara to any phone cam) or bluetooth. The removable
battery is nice though. If the Treo 600's battery dies, you're pretty
screwed unless your phone is still under warranty.

Throw in some SD cards if you need extra storage. I've got one loaded
up with mp3 and another loaded up with Audible files. ;)

Who is your carrier Mike? I'm currently on my third Treo 600. The
first one got dropped onto concrete, with predictible results (busted
LCD). That was replaced by Sprint Equipment Replacment Program ($4 a
month to protect a $650 device is worth every penny!). About 3 weeks
ago the LCD on the replacment failed. I took it to the Sprint Store on
France and the rep there promptly ordered me a new one.

I'm not sure if the new one is a refurb or not. It didn't come in a
retail box, but it looks brand spanking new. The Lock/Line replacment
was obviously a referb unit. I was a bit disappointed that the screen
couldn't hold out for a few more weeks before failing so I would have
a chance at a Treo 650 replacment. ;)
