Treo 700p fixes imminent?
I posted a while back that Palm was promising a much-anticipated (and overdue) firmware update for the Treo 700p to address Bluetooth pairing, stability, and performance issues. Based on a recent post to their blog that was picked up by Kevin Tofel at jkOnTheRun this weekend, it appears the release is still on track and should be available by the end of the month. Here’s hoping. It’s hard to understand how it’s taken an entire year to address basic problems like this.
I like the Treo 700p a lot but I’ve been forced to use a different BT headset than the one I’d like to due to pairing issues and the just-frequent-enough-to-be-really-irritating hangs I experience where the system completely locks up have led to brief instances where I sound like I have Tourette syndrome.
