[Mobilepartners] Palm Treo 680 Software Update

[Andrew Yu]

TGIF!

This message affects all users of Palm Treo 680 (Cingular/AT&T; Palm OS).

I have seen a number of Palm Treo 680 devices complaining of frequent "freezing" of the device. Palm apparently received enough complaints from users that they made this software update.

This update includes the previously released patches that Palm released (including Daylight Saving Time, Camera update for improved battery life) as well as the new patches for preventing "freezing". There is a nice article summarizing this at TreoCentral:

You can apply the update to your Treo 680 by following instructions on Palm's website:

Lastly, I would appreciate it if you can forward this email to any Treo 680 users that you might know. This has been a very annoying bug for many users and made it difficult for me to recommend Palm Treo 680 (the ONLY GSM Palm OS device available).

Cheers,

Andrew
