TREO 680

The Palm 'Treo 680' is a combination hybrid PDA/cellphone, or smartphone as the successor to the company's Treo 650. It comes in four colors: Arctic, Copper, Crimson, and Graphite. Initially, Graphite was the only colour available to wireless carriers, with the Arctic, Copper and Crimson models available unlocked exclusively through Palm.com and Palm's retail stores. This policy was reversed in the US, with Graphite the only colour available unlocked and AT&T along with Rogers are selling the coloured models. In other countries, unlocked colour models are still available.
It is the first Treo based on the Palm OS to have the external antenna removed. It is targeted at consumers with more friendly colors and easy to use advertising.
