X-Gadget has a Treo 600 vs 650 comparison review up. Summary:
- The sound quality is slightly worse on the 650, but still better then most phones.
- The screen is vastly better.
- The camera is much better.
- The CPU is a lot faster.
- The software is slightly improved.
The reviewer didn’t mention low memory issues or spend more then a few minutes playing with Bluetooth. All in all, his take seems to be that the hardware is good, but PalmOS is getting long in the tooth and needs updated.

According to MacMinute, PalmOne and Apple are offering free Treo 600 accessories if you buy a Treo 600 by September 30th.
This is the best confirmation that I’ve seen yet for the Treo 650. Considering that PalmOne generally releases their “fall lineup” on October 1st, and that the rumored Treo 650 isn’t compatible with Treo 600 accessories, it looks like they’re trying to clear out their inventory before the 650 gets announced.

According to Treo Central, Amazon is offering the Treo 600 for $149 after rebates. Treo Central didn’t notice, but PalmOne is selling the Treo 600 for $349 (after rebate) to new AT&T customers.
Treo Central thinks that this is an indication that the Treo Ace is getting closer. More likely, it’s a reflection on the Treo 600’s demand: PalmOne’s Treo 600 shipping page indicates that they’ve finally, after almost a year, caught up with the Treo 600 order backlog. Since they’re now building them faster then they’re selling them, it makes sense to start offering discounts.
