Rogers Launches the Treo 680

Without much fanfare, Rogers Wireless has officially launched the Palm Treo 680 smartphone in Canada. A "PDA" as they call it, it can be had for $299.99 CAD when purchased with a three-year voice and data service agreement. Without a contract, the price jumps to $499.99. On Palm's site, the Unlocked GSM version in Copper, Arctic, Crimson, as well as the defeault Rogers colour of Graphite can be had for the same price, however the Bonus Music Pack (headphones, SD card, additional software and Yahoo! Music Unlimited) is not available for Canadian consumers. Neither is free shipping (available in the US), which is another slap in the face for Canadian consumers I think! The Treo 650 has not been discontinued in Canada, but rather its price has been slashed to as low as $199.99 on Rogers, and $49.99 on Telus. The Treo 750 has been rumoured to arrive on Canadian shores soon along with Rogers' nationwide rollout of HSDPA, but that has yet to be confirmed.
