Treo 650 on the way!

November 18th, 2004 | Jeff Boulter | General

I bought my Treo 650 today. Well, kinda. I ordered it from Amazon. Here’s the problem.

Shipping estimate: December 22, 2004 – January 5, 2005

I’m really hoping that Amazon is being pessimistic about this since some people got their phones today.

The total price will be about $307.75 or 49% off!!

$599.99 retail
- $30 amazon discount
- $8.95 A9.com Instant reward
- $150 Sprint Rebate
- $50 Amazon Rebate
- $36.46 Amazon Associates Referral Credit
- $16.83 Amazon.com visa credit
+ Free shipping
+ No tax

$307.75

Not sure if I will have to get a new phone number to get the rebate, but I don’t really care. No one ever calls me anyway.

I may actually take a $50 hit and sign up for a one-year sprint contract ($100 rebate) instead of the 2-year contract. Two years is a really long time to be stuck with any provider.

I’m really looking forward to the new phone. My Treo 300 is looking pretty ragged. Now I just need to hunt down a Bluetooth adapter, car charger and maybe a case…
