Treo 750 upgrade to mobile 6.0?
|
|
|
| At one time there was talk about a free upgrade for the Treo 750 from MS
Mobile 5 to Mobile 6.
Is this still in the works?
thanks

| I was trying to also find out about that as well. No word from Cingular on
it.
How do you like the phone ? I'm thinking on getting one. I almost pulled the
trigger last night. Pros and cons welcome.

Well, I'm just a gadget freak. I really don't use it a whole lot accept the
phone and messaging. I forgot, I did buy this software called Pocket
Informant by SPB which is kind of an upgrade to the calandar, kinda soups it
up. And a program called Voice Command by Microsoft, which makes the phone
virtually hands free to make calls and all sorts of other things.But I do
like the phone a lot. It is a bit small as far as the text. I'm 47 and have
to pull out my seeing eye dog glasses when it rings, something pops up etc..
other than that I think it's great!! Hope that helps.

I'm older and sold my Treo for an iPhone. Bigger text and better
features.

| I have my Treo 750 since it was released in January, and its great. I'm 48
and can still read the text, but the text size can be changed in the
settings page of the device. I upgraded my 750 to WM6 over a month ago via a
website that had a leaked copy of the AT&T Palm firmware. I can tell you
this; it is 10 X's better now with the upgrade than it was with WM5. I love
my Treo, and wouldn't waste my time with an iPhone that doesn't even have a
user servicable battery or 3G capabilities!

Could you possibly lead me to the new firmware? I'm waiting on the 6.0, but
I don't really hear anything about them releasing it!!
thanks

| Hello,
I am too sick of waiting for AT&T to decide when they will stop
overcharging customers for. HSDPA access by not allowing us to use our
Treos for DUN. Can you also send me a link to access the WM6 rom?
thank you
Broker

How are they not allowing? Are you trying to do laptop tethering on a
plan that does not allow laptop tethering? It's 60/mo for those
plans.
