There is thread in the rogers forum about the treo 650 going down to $250, any rumors from Bell about price drops.

Thanks

I doubt it'll drop already.

They've had that for awhile and will most likely be replacing it with the MS version or the 700...don't think there'll be a move on price with Bell's...till maybr xmas.

Okay, so would this be worth switching to Rogers for? I havent been a Rogers customer for at least 10 years so my opinions are somewhat dated

No, because as it is right now...they soft cap their unlimited data to a rediculous 25mb (i could be wrong here);whereas Bell, softcaps to 100mb.

If you're referring to Blackberry, you are correct. However I don't believe the 25MB cap is applicable to Treo. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I wouldn't switch to the GSM Treo 650--there's a class action suit on this model regarding known quality issues. You may wish to do some reseach on this.

The CDMA model is much better, from what I've read.

Just grab one of the Treo 600s instead before they are all gone. Unless you need bluetooth. I got mine for 99.

Well I have a Zire 72 and really like the 320x320 screen, i think the Treo 600 only has 240x240 and I cant step back like that

just noticed the price is now $399 on the Bell site. Checked Futureshop and they still have it for $549. Anyone know of a place that sells its for a better price than Bell.ca? I'm really itching to get this thing.

549$ is the month to month price (no contract).
399$ is the price with a 3 year term.

...or you could wait a bit longer for the new 7130e.
