John, I agree, the Treo is a great unit. I have had both a CDMA (Sprint) and GSM Treo600. When I switched to GSM (Cingular) back in October, I got a PPC PDA2K. The PPC platform was not nearly as good, and I switched back to a Treo. But, my 600 is getting a tad older and it is time for something new. I have ruled out all the PPC devices, and the only thing I have to have is a TN5250 emulator. Some of the Nokia (9300/9550) look interesting, but do not have 850 GSM, so that is a deal breaker on Cingular. Motorola has a very interesting Linux/J2ME smartphone, but there arent many apps for it, and NO TN5250 emulator. The Sony product looks good to me, but if I can not find a TN5250 emulator, the only choice I have is the Treo. I have been to TC many time, and have been registered there for several years. I don't think the radio is much better in the 650. It is a shame. My wife's plain old cheap nokia does not break up when she uses it in our house, my Treo is marginal. I am hoping the SE910a might be better (it is reported to be very good in the radio department). I may just buy one and mess with it, as long as I can return it. I will keep my trusty Treo though. I'm not going to sell it, like I did my original one, and then go back and buy another. I can be pretty dumb at times. cjg Carl J.

The radio seems to be a tad better than the 600, but not greatly so. I haven't investigated GSM so I couldn't say if the 650's GSM radio is any better than the 600s. You might consider spending a few minutes over at treocentral.com's forums to read about the good, the bad, and the ugly. For me, the screen alone practically justifies the upgrade; the incremental improvements everywhere else cemented it. And the functionality offered would make it a royal pain to switch to a plan cel phone. What other device is a phone, PDA, MP3 player that can stream audio from the internet, USB & Bluetooth flash drive, portable game machine, document editor, email manager, and web browser that doesn't have ties to Microsoft?

I am seriously considering the Treo as well, but I really need a better phone. The RF performance of my Treo600 is a little weak compared to say my wife's el cheapo Nokia. Do you have the GSM or CDMA version? Carl J.

I later upgraded to a newer Mocha version for color support. Very nice & nothing to buy as the Mocha license is 'portable' to the new device. John A.

I am looking at either the Treo650 but also the Sony Ericsson p910a which runs Symbian UIQ. Mochasoft does not list any products for this phone, but does sell software for the Nokia 9300/9500 and series 60 smartphones that also run Symbian. When I asked their support of one of the Nokia emulators would work, they said to contact Sony Ericsson. Anyone out there have this smartphone (or a p900 or p800) and use a 5250 emulator. Lack of a 5250 emulator is a total deal beaker for me. cjg Carl J.
