Thank you.

What would you suggest for a source?

eBay unlocked ones seem to be around $125.

Amazon has some from private sellers (I'm a little skeptical of the$50 one!):
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...Fencoding=UTF8

I notice that on Palm's website, there is a specific updater file to download for those who are now-Cingular-formerly-ATT customers (which would be me and the two phones on our family plan)

I could get a Treo 650 upgrade to my current plan for $200, but that would mean a) going from an ATT sim to a Cingular one (and, the Cingular people told me, that that would necessitate getting two new phones for our family plan -- which I and family don't want to do), b) committing to a new 2 year contract.

If I got, though, a Treo 600 off of eBay, is it simply a matter of dropping in my current ATT sim, calling Cingular with the IMEI number, downloading and updating the phone via Palm's website.

More thanks for your patience
