Windows Mobile fans should check out the 700WX |

No Antennae, and four colours PALM TREO 680 This is the Palm for the more fashion-conscious consumer. The 680 runs Palm OS, has no antennae and although it is only marginally smaller than its 650 predecessor-its curved sides and back fit your hand better. It sells for $299 on a three-year voice and data plan from Rogers. And about the colours: while the 680 does come in Copper, Crimson (pictured), Arctic and Graphite, at press time Rogers is only stocking Graphite (grey). The sexier tones are available directly from Palm. |
