I believe they only dropped the 300 and possibly the 500 with the latest 
firmware (per the release notes for 2.2.0).  The 600 already had the 
increased memory on the phone (which was the major difference from the 
300/301 and 500/501.

That being said, the 300, 500 and 600 are discontinued.  You might be 
able to get them cheap, but I wouldn't use them in a new install.
