The long wait is over for Palm enthusiasts, as the highly-anticipated but seemingly always out-of-reach BlackBerry Connect service is finally available for Treo 650 owners -- specifically, future 650 owners who are in one of the seven non-US markets covered by Singapore-based SingTel, the sole carrier offering the service at rollout. We first heard word of a BlackBerry service for Treos last October, and more recently saw the Connect service working "in the wild" at 3GSM, which takes all of that push email goodness and formats it into an interface familiar to Palm OS users. SingTel will be offering the 650 for a very reasonable $186 to customers who sign up for the $38/month BlackBerry Enterprise Solution Unlimited Local Data Usage Plan through May 12th.[Thanks to everyone who sent this in, photo credit: Treonauts]

I've seen Blackberry Connect listed as an option on the Cingular site. My local store doesn't have any info. Has anyone here heard anything?

Support for Treo BlackBerry Connect is determined by the carrier. You will have to wait for your carrier to support the service.
