So, apparently something has been updated, but I can't tell what it is! Can anybody here tell what changes have been made?

It appears to have a 5 megapixel camera according to the product page.
Comparison
The 650T has preloaded topo maps and more internal memory.
There is also a 655T which includes a built in 5 mp camera

I had a Rino 530HCX before selling it last year. Great unit but a bit heavy for backpacking.

The antenna does make the unit awkward to carry in a pocket. It's necessary though for effective FRS / GMRS radio use. I found the belt lanyard the best way to carry the unit.

So, I wonder if that means that the Garmin RINO 655 (non-t version) has been discontinued and will be clearanced out at retailers?
It's a feature!

Fixed antennas are part of FCC type acceptance for FRS/GMRS devices -- it's a feature!

.....Really, there aren’t that many differences between this device and the older 650. The screen is a little larger and the new unit has ANT+ capabilities as well as preloaded TOPO Maps. Other than that, pretty much all of these features can be found on the old 650. It looks like a moderate upgrade for slightly more reliability and such, so if you already have a 650 or don’t want to fork out the extra money for the new version, I don’t think you’d really lose much.
