If you're the proud but perhaps not-so-happy owner of a Sprint Treo 650, perhaps a newly posted firmware upgrade on the PalmOne site might address some of your woes.
I'm with Cingular, so I can't share first-hand experience on this patch (formal name: Treo 650 Updater 1.12). But according to Sprint, it will let you use your Treo as a dial-up modem for Bluetooth devices; add support for additional Bluetooth car kits (including Acura, BMW, Chrysler, and Toyota Prius); connect calls more quickly after you dial them; send SMS messages for missed calls or the call log; and upgrade VersaMail to make it more stable and add unspecified improvements. The update includes other changes made available in a previous patch, Updater 1.08, released in March, Sprint says.
Additionally, PalmOne has a new version of the downloadable user guide that includes the changes in this update.
Let us know how this update goes for you. Good luck!
I am glad that they finally enables the Bluetooth DUN... its about time!
Im trying to get my dad to buy one of these lol.
i downloaded the update a week ago. it works great - the biggest improvement is that when in the prius talking on the phone and another call comes through (call waiting), both calls are no longer dropped (prior to the update, both calls were dropped).
update now!
It's now July 19th - there has been significant Treo related news since that last post (June 17) to date. Can Treolog now be considered an "Abandoned Weblog" a.k.a. ablog?
OK, here's a question: Does that mean if I buy a Cingular Treo650 I CAN use it as a modem with my laptop? HOW??
Thinking hard about Treo vs waiting for the Nokia 9300. Browsing the web via laptop sounds MUCH easier than typing URL's on the tiny keys....
Having T-Mobile for a carrier, and wanting to get a Treo 650, I purchased an unlocked version of a Cingular phone. I'm not really sure if I can utilize the upgrade, but the phone works OK. Not great, but OK. T-Mobile said I'm all set up, but I'm not really satisfied with the results. Things formerly stored on the SIM don't seem to be there, anymore.
this last post is almost 2 months old. I think this is an abandoned weblog...
