In Time For Black Friday: Treo 680 At $199 Hits Cingular

by John

overview_680_photo.jpgReports of technical difficulties aside, the arrival of the Treo 680 at Cingular this Friday could be worth waiting for, if you’re trying to decide on one of the new “affordable” smartphones.  That is, if you consider just under $200 with a 2 year contact and data plan commitment ”affordable”.

For one thing, The Palm Treo line has a huge fan base, which has generated a lot of cool software for you to enjoy with it.  And although it’s not as sleek as the BlackBerry Pearl (T-Mobile) or Motorola Q (Verizon) or the Samsung Blackjack (also Cingular), the 680’s just-big-enough keyboard and touchscreen combination give it a nice usability factor.  Maybe more usable for many people than the smaller smartphones.

And if you’d prefer to get one without a commitment to Cingular, Palm now has them up on their website, available unlocked, for $399.  (If you want the “extreme colors” - arctic, copper, crimson - those are only available unlocked from Palm.)
