I (being a phone geek), love the 600, and figured the 650 would be even better... But I've seen some *really* nasty reviews about it.

I can't find the link now, but I saw a few articles saying that the 650 had fucked up by implementing a new filesystem that basically whacked your memory so bad that you wound up having less usable memory than the 600. (they made the minimum block size 5k or something)

Some other bug too, but it might have just been phone nerds bitching
One of the main things that I have heard people complaining about is the fact that they lose 1mb. The 600 has 24 megs and the 650 has 23 but that is because its a different memory type. In the new Treo you are less likely to lose your data if your battery goes down and you can't perform a hotsync for awhile (I forgot the time period).

There are also a lot of 3rd party apps that are causing all types of headaches because they aren't built for the 650 but overall i'm impressed by the 650.

Handspring/Palmone did a very good job of keeping what worked and fixing what didn't.
