The rumor mongers are busy as usual, reading doom for the Treo 700wx into a "While supplies last" flag on Verizon's website. Your mileage might vary, but when I went to Verizon's pages just now to verify the report, I found it clean of any "EOL" indication. Sure, there's that $100 discount if you sign your life away for two years and agree to mortgage your cat to pay Verizon

Right on the heels of the Verizon Treo 700wx getting the WM 6 update, Dieter got word via a fellow named Scott that Verizon will probably be carrying the Treo 800w. Seems that Scott had some talks with Verizon reps, and a rep told him that a new Treo is coming in the next month or so, and that it will be the Treo 800w. Sweet, huh? We had seen the Verizon sightings and the leaked presentations and ...

While lots of handsets are now coming with Windows Mobile 6.1 out of the box, Verizon’s Palm Treo 700wx still runs on the dusty Windows Mobile 5 platform. Well, not anymore, as Palm has released a software upgrade that allows Treo 700wx owners to say au revoir to the old WM 5 and pump in

Updater v1.24 is now available for the Palm/Verizon Treo 700wx. Wait, we know what you're thinking. Just an insignificant dot upgrade, right? Nope, not this time. v1.24 packs Windows Mobile 6 Professional. Yes, Windows Mobile 6 Professional for your two-year old device. Our hats off to Palm and Verizon for making this happen. And to all the other manufacturers and carriers reading this, take...

The Palm 700w/wx on Verizon Finally gets the WM6 update!

Palm today posted the long anticipated Windows Mobile 6 update for the Verizon branded Treo 700wx smartphone. The Verizon only Treo 700wx Updater v1.24 provides an updated version of the Windows Mobile operating system and incorporates past ROM updates. (Can anyone who's updated confirm whether it installs WM6.1?) WM6 provides a number of updates including a refresh user interface, enhanced c...

Palm has quietly released two updates for the Verizon Treo 700p and Alltel 700wx smart devices that address a rare phone reset bug that occurs under certain conditions. It should be noted that Alltel users with firmware version 1.12 loaded on their devices do not have to apply this update, while Verizon 700p users with

Better late than never? Maybe, but this seems very late. Palm has posted an update for the Verizon version of the Palm Treo 700p. Sure some people still use the old phone, but it's 2 full years after its release. Most people who are even aware that they need an update, are probably looking at Centros and other phones. The ROM update is availab...

I've noticed a distinct lack of discussion online about the Verizon-specific Treo 755p 1.08 ROM update ever since its release earlier this month. Whether it stems from that particular device's late arrival relative to its Sprint sibling or a lack of compelling reasons to apply the upgrade (not aided at all by Palm's cryptic list of the update's improvements on their support site), I decided to cre

Palm has posted the first ROM update for the Treo 755p on Verizon. The update brings the device up to version 1.08. The update support page is pretty vague on specific details stating only: This software update is a tune-up that improves the phone application, stability and device usability. The update is only for use with a Verizon 755p. Palm Support says the update should take roughly around an
