Yes the Treo 650 will work with QuoTrek. I haven't received one to test but there shouldn't be any problems. We'll just have to verify that the new Palm OS works with QuoTrek, the 650 runs Palm OS 5.4. We'll make the necessary changes to QuoTrek if needed. So far QuoTrek has worked fine on the Palm OS 5.4 simulator. Sprint announced at the CTIA in S.F. that they plan to be the first wireless carrier to offer the new palmOne Treo 650. The Treo 650 will be available next month at Sprint Stores, Sprint business channels and online for $599.99. Sprint business customers will also have the option to purchase a non-camera version of the device later this year.
The 650 will have a 320 x 320 display, up from the 600's 160 x 160 screen. Bluetooth is built in, but the handset's battery is now removable. The integrated digicam still offers a 640 x 480 resolution, but now provides a 2x digital zoom feature and works better in low-light conditions.
As anticipated, the 650 is based on a 312MHz Intel XScale processor. The 600 hsa a 144MHz CPU. There's 22-23MB of available user memory, out of a total of 32MB, all of which is Flash, following the pattern laid down by the Tungsten T5. There's an SDIO slot for expansion. The device runs Palm OS 5.4.
The size and weight is pretty much what the 600 is. The battery provides up to five hours' talk time and 14 days' stand-by time on the CDMA version, with six hours' talk time and 12 days' stand-by time on the GSM version.
PalmOne said it expects carriers to begin offering the 650 "later this year" in the US, with worldwide availability coming sometime in 2005. It gave no indication as to pricing.
