First off, both Gizmodo and Engadget have pictures and info. on the next-generation Treo 650. Pretty much what I think everyone has been expecting: faster processor, more memory, higher resolution (screen and camera), and Bluetooth. Also some details that I hadn't seen mentioned before such as a removable battery and new sync connector. (Much has been made of incompatibility with Treo 600 peripherals as a result of the new connector, but isn't it the same connector found on most other palmOne devices? If so, I think that will open up a world of new peripherals and better economics for peripheral manufacturers.)

PalmInfocenter.com reports that T-Mobile is finally carrying Treo 600s in stores.

If you have a Treo and a Windows laptop, you probably want PDANet. Dave Sifry was singing its praises a while back. PDANet deserves high praise. It just works and works beautifully. Should be even better when it works over Bluetooth to a new Treo 650. If you have a Mac laptop, then you might try this. I haven't, yet, but I'll report back when I do.

If you don't already have one, you should consider getting a combined USB sync/charging cable. I don't know why the cable the Treo ships with doesn't do the same.
