I just (1 minute ago) received an email from Palm with a link to a software update for Treo 680 AT&T / Cingular customers. Although I am an AT&T customer, I’m not sure that this upgrade will work with my unbranded 680. If any of you install it, let us know how it works out. Here are the details of the email…
**********************************************************************
Software Update for Palm(R) Treo(TM) 680 Smartphone for AT&T
**********************************************************************
An important software update for the Palm(R)TreoTM 680 smartphone
is available immediately as a free download from
http://palm.com/680CriticalUpdate
and should be installed by all AT&T/Cingular customers who purchase
a Treo 680 before June 11, 2007. The update should be downloaded to
their computer and then synchronized to their Treo 680. It’s very
important that all AT&T/Cingular customers have this software update
on their device because it provides these significant improvements:
* Improved power management for better battery life.
* Camera update for improved battery life (available previously as a
standalone update).
* Helps correct distorted characters that can occur in the title bar
of the Phone application.
* Helps fix device “freezing” that may occur under certain conditions.
* System Lockout improvement for increased security.
* Support for the new Daylight Saving Time legislation (available
previously as a standalone update).
* Provides better support for networks unique to some Caribbean, Latin
American, and Asian countries.
* Updates Cingular branding, replacing it with the new AT&T branding.
