Last night after playing a few rounds of pool I found one of these underneath our table:

Sprint Treo 650

Right now I'm thinking about these options:

a.) Returning it to it's rightful owner
b.) Selling it on eBay
c.) Keeping it for myself and then use it when my current cell phone contract expires.

Anyone have one of these? What do you think I should do?

Here's some information about the phone:

In November 2004, Sprint became the first wireless carrier to offer the Treo 650, a smartphone that some consider to be the best on the market. The 650 offers some tantalizing features: 320x320 color screen, a 312 MHz processor, built-in keyboard and camera, Bluetooth connectivity, wireless Internet access, and the Palm OS operating system, compatible with thousands of third-party applications.

The Sprint Treo 650 can link a computer to the 650’s wireless Internet connection, combining the go-anywhere Internet access of a smartphone with the convenience of a personal computer. You could, for example, bring your laptop on a trip and connect it to the Internet just like you would at home, even if your hotel provides no Internet service. And with the help of Bluetooth, you can do all of this wirelessly: Just place the smartphone within range of your laptop and click a button to connect. With the release of the Treo 650 Updater 1.12, dial-up networking over Bluetooth is now officially supported by Sprint. No longer must you install a hack; the DUN option is now available in the Treo's Bluetooth preferences panel by default. All you have to do is turn it on! There is even a special icon that indicates when DUN is enabled.

Return it.

I would return it. Most people are completely lost without their cell phones because no one writes shit down anymore. Also, I really have no interest in things like this; my phone works fine, so it wouldn't be anything I wanted.

Return it. It might be tempting to keep, but you'll feel much better about yourself if you give it back.

would it even be possible to keep it and use it in the future?
isn't there some type of tracking/activation that would tie it to its original owner?

make a few calls to Indonesia, Iran and Iraq then return it to its' rightful owner

I'd be tempted to keep it and try to use it for myself but I'd also be worried about Sprint tracing a lost/stolen phone back to me or something.

Please call me! I'm feeling lonely due to the division of labor I experience in this capitalistic society!

Return it.

Karma would be a great name for a domme!

the 650 has been replaced, effectively, with the 700w, and the 700p is coming soon, so ebay won't even throw you that much cash for one. give it back to dude.

The fact that you posted this here is dispicable.

I was hoping this would be about that Nickelodeon show with Marc Summers. That was a fucking great show.


Oh, and return it.

On the contrary... having a conversation about ethics, ethical choices, is rare and welcome.

Now, that he would consider it, is, indeed, horrid.

I mean, the sims card with contacts etc? how do you know they are saved some other place? it could be like grabbing chunks of the persons life and destroying them.

I hate technology. I hate how it continues to take our lives from us, and scripts our behavior... it increases access and diminish the impact of our choices.

Kill your television? Chuck your blackberry....

most of us make the choice to let technology take over. it doesn't just take it from us without our consent. Like anything, it is a double-edged sword.

this isn't a double edged sword.

yeah
yeah
yeah

You have more faith in the power of individual agency that is distinct from cultural predetermination than I have. Most of our choices are blind and unknown to us... hence the silly rant on a musical board to ask the Front Desk for a Wake Up Call.

I'd return it if it were me. But I'm the sort of person that will point out if a cashier gives me too much money back.

This the correct answer.

Return it, but make doing so fun.

rerun it.. i read alot of mixed reviews on amazon about it, ad wound up getting the Sidekick 2 instead, myself.

Return it. If you had to ask, you already know the answer.
