I used a 650 for a year, but have never tried the 680.  No problems syncing to 
Linux with the http://www.pilot-link.org/ Pilot-link command line tools.  This 
does a full backup of the unit, which is all I wanted - I didn't try to sync it 
with a local calendar/address book.

The 650 is somewhat low on memory and reset-prone.  The 680 may improve that.

I'm currently using a 700p which I'm happy with, but there are still some issues 
with Bluetooth and web browsing.  There's supposed to be a firmware update this 
week, which 700p users have been waiting for since the release of the device.
