Palm has just settled a class action lawsuit about Treo 600 and 650 defects.
The conditions offered are as following(PDF with details):
Free repairs
All people owning a Treo 600 or 650 that currently is defective can get a free repair in the next 120 days via this form. If a Treo 600 is considered unrepairable(knowing Palm, I guess that most with orange blotches on the screen will be), Palm is entitled to offer you a 50$ rebate off a Palm smartphone purchase of choice.
Upgrade discount
People who have had their Treo 600 or 650 repaired twice are entitled to a 75$/50$ discount when purchasing a new smartphone from Palm.
Unfortunately, people living outside of the USA are not covered by this lawsuit. I am pretty sure that my Treo 600(orange blotches, mad digitizer) and my Treo 650(mad digitizer) will not get repaired for free…
Congratulations to all parties involved in making Palm stand behind its products!
