I want a 650, however, I am waiting for a good deal with Verizon so I can jump on it! Nothing yet :(

Treo 650 hands down, unless you're a kid, since the Sidekick is nothing more than a toy.

Depends heavily on your needs.
Is PDA functionality more important to you than phone/internet?
Is the ability to download various games and apps important to you?
Is syncing with Outlook important to you?
Is having a local backup of your data important to you?
Is Bluetooth important to you?
Is removable storage important to you?

The more "yes" answers you have to these questions, the more you will probably prefer the Treo.
I love my SKII but you won't be happy if it doesn't fit your needs.

It depends on what youre using it for. The treo 650 is far more advanced, has bluetooth, better camera, better screen, more professional, expandable etc.

But dont hate on the sidekick 2. The keyboard and form factor is WAY better than the treo. The phone is just as good. Its got basic PDA apps, but I found myself using it more for that than any other PDA ive ever owned cause it was so easy to use the keyboard. You can go from one app to another in a blink of an eye, type in, and close. Its extremely well designed. The keyboard on the treo was a pain to use, although better than no kb at all.

Plus the SK2 is like a third the price. Internet is slow and unusable on both of them, but IM on the SK rocks.

you can't really compare the two, they're totally different animals

I've owned both of them, and they both excel at what they are intended for

I use the SMT5600 now, it owns all
