Palm Treo 680 launches on Cingular, $199

We got a Treo here, everybody, the 680 to be exact. It is, as we all well know by now, going to go for $200 after two year service agreement (with unlimited data plan), and will be available as of Black Friday. Wii for the kids, Treo 680 for yourself. Decisions can be difficult to make, wouldn’t you say?

P.S. -It’s not without at least one review, either.

Palm briefly confesses to Treo 680, 750 for Cingular

Dear Palm,

Why is it that you have such a devil of a time keeping a lid on your product pipeline? It seems like in those precious few moments when your carriers aren’t leaking documents describing unreleased Treos, you’re doing it yourself. No bother; we already knew darned well Cingular would be getting a pair of new handsets from you, freshly freed of their pesky external antennas, in Palm OS and Windows Mobile flavors — we just wish you’d make it a little more challenging to scoop the deets sometimes. Anyway, you’ve got a crowd of Palm fanatics anxiously awaiting your 680 and 750 here in the US, so let’s get this show on the road, shall we?

Love,
Engadget

[Thanks, William and Jon]

TeleNav expands to Nokia E62, Treo 680

Filed under: 680,Nav,Navigation,PalmOs,Treo680,cingular,nokia,palm,palm os,telenav,treo,treo 680 — Chris Ziegler @ 4:02 am

Filed under: , , , , ,

After initially announcing availability on a handful of devices last month, Cingular and TeleNav are expanding their partnership by bringing navigation to the recently-launched Nokia E62 (and, oh yeah, the Treo 680, too — though there’s no specific mention of Big Orange involvement on that one). The software package rings in at $6/month for 10 trips and $10/month for unlimited use, offering all the same navigational features that you’d find on TeleNav’s previous Cingular offerings — the 8125 / 8525, Treo 650, and HP hw6925 — with a couple of added bonuses on the E62: the new “fuzzy search” feature, as the name implies, completes user entries based on predictive logic and previous searches, while 3D maps also make an appearance for the first time. Sorry, 680 users… maybe next version.
