Don't see why it shouldn't. The Treo 650 has BT so it should work.

The Treo has BT1.2 and according to Freedom's site, the Mini uses BT2.0.

The Mini GPS should work fine with the Treo 650 (assuming you have navigation/GPS tracking software). Bluetooth V2 is backwards compatible with 1.2/1.1

*******I have removed this post because it was about another seller who said to have this same device for less money. After receiving a comprehensive response from Christine, who explained that it was impossible for the other seller to have any quantity of this device, I figured it was prudent to remove the posting.*******

Look at their feedback though. I'd pay the extra 10 bucks to be sure of actually getting the product.

LOL Try and buy one from this site and see if he has any stock. He is, as they say in the UK, flying a kite! He cannot have ANY stock because the only pieces shipped to the US at the moment are to Forum members! And, whilst I have sold a lot of units to Forum members, nobody has bought 1000 pieces off me!
Our US distributors will soon have the Freedom Mini GPS in stock but they will sell at the retail price of $99.99.

Exclamation OT

Would anyone who has one in route already be willing to send me their unit and I'll send my unit, or better yet, have Chris send it directly to them? It's paid for and will ship in the morning as I missed the shipping window today..

I have a short trip this weekend and it doesn't look like my Mini will make it before the weekend.

Email me at javin.rogersATkenexa.com if you can help a fella out.

Received my Freedom Mini GPS today - Thanks Chris.

Works great so far! - Only tested with live search/google maps/gpsgate. Has anyone been able to actually get yahoo go 2.0 to work with external GPS? I've tried it with both the "external gps" app setup and without - no luck getting yahoo to recognize.

can't get my receiver to work

I received my freedom gps receiver and I am trying to get my 6800 to connect with it. Currently the receiver is flashing orange/blue and when I try to pair them my phone recognizes it asks for a pascode which I enter and then asks me what services to configure. The only thing listed is "serial port". I check this and click finish and still nothing. The receiver should only stay with a blue light but it doesnt... Ideas???

Is this why you think there is a problem, because the GPS LED doesn't stay with a constant blue light? I've never paid that close attention to the LED behavior on the GPS unit but I do not recall it ever being a steady blue, even after I just paired it. I know what the manual says but its not up to date, see the updated manual here:
Freedom Mini GPS Manual - Powered By Kayako SupportSuite

The LED always seem to be alternating between 2 colors in my experience, orange for one second to illustrate that the device is communicating with the GPS satellites and it will do this regardless if it is paired with the Mogul or not, and the other color, blue, for the next second or two to show it is on and/or connected to the phone.

Have you actually tried to use the device with a GPS program yet?
