I noticed that the msrp on the treo 650 is different on all carriers:

1. Cingular is $399
2. Sprint $649
3. Vzw $349

Well for Sprint...maybe they want people to realize the 700p is the same price and go for that instead? Selling more 700p's= more Powervision plans= more money.

Verizon always has the cheapest retail price on their phones because they dont intend on making high profits on handset sales.

I don't actually see the Treo 650 on Sprint site, just the 700p. You might be better off getting a free phone with Sprint and then buying a 650 on eBay, especially if they want $650 for it because the 700p is out.

You're right. The $649 is for the 700p. I remember seeing the Sprint Treo 650 being the most expensive when I was comparing them a while back.
