There have been rumors of a 610 model for some months now,
but I haven't heard anything for awhile.

Anyone else?

It was a time of great turmoil. The strong preyed on the weak, dogs
and cats lived together. One voice cried out in the wilderness:

The first grainy photographs of it have been making the rounds of the
PDA new sites recently. It looks like it will feature improved
resolution, bluetooth, an improved keyboard with dedicated "call" and
"hang up" keys and a few other tweaks. It looks very tempting but is
probably still a few months away. As for the 600, a lot of the apps
that were breaking under its lower resolution (mostly games and MP3
players that used high resolution skins for their UI) have been
updated to work with it.

I guess it all depends on how long you want to wait. I personally
decided to hang on to my Treo 270 when the 600 came out and feel that
I can wait for the upgraded 610 (or whatever they call the new Treo).

Your concerns can be addressed now by contacting the developers for the
apps you *think* might have trouble with the Treo 600.

As for the quality of the resolution, take a look and decide for yourself.
That is, is it good enough for you? If it is, then don't worry about other
people.

I would definitely wait. From what I have read, the new one will have 320 x 320
and Bluetooth, plus a couple extra control buttons for the phone portion. It
could be ready as soon as July, but most likely will be a few months.

If I were you, I would probably wait until the new Treo which is
supposedly going to have a higher resolution screen and bluetooth
while keeping all the exisiting features (camera, PDA, keyboard, etc.)

I'm getting my information about the new Treo from the following link:
http://mytreo.net/news/archives/000064.html

However, after writing this, I don't see myself buying the new Treo
because I'm very satisfied with my current Treo 600 which is unlocked
and only about 3 months old. The bluetooth feature and the higher
resolution doesn't really entice me to sell my Treo 600 and buy the
new Treo. All the other features listed in the above webpage also
don't entice me to upgrade my current Treo 600. If they would
incorporate WiFi network access, that might be another story...
