Major updates for Sprint and unlocked GSM Treo 650

Thu Jun 16, 2005 - 9:52 PM EDT - By Marcus Adolfsson


Bluetooth Dial-Up Networking, VersaMail fixes, additional Bluetooth Car kits support, and post-dial delays have been addressed in a newly released ROM update for the Sprint PCS Treo 650. For unlocked GSM users, there is a matching ROM update that also fixes the NVFS memory issues.

From palmOne's support site:
 
What is the Sprint PCS Treo 650 Updater 1.12?
  • Enables Bluetooth Dial-Up Networking
  • Updates VersaMail to version 3.1 to enhance stability and add improvements
  • Adds support for more Bluetooth carkits including Acura, BMW, Chrysler, Toyota Prius (see all compatible car kits)
  • Reduces post-dial delay before a call is connected
  • Send SMS messages from Missed Call Alert or Call Log
  • Now there's a new user guide that incorporates the changes after running the Treo 650 Updater: Treo 650 User Guide (PDF)

Users are reporting the following improvements:

  • Keyboard lights now brighten and dim along with the screen.
  • Digitizer much improved but still not 100%.
  • More available memory than with 1.08, so they may have improved it further
  • Dialing is in fact dramatically faster

Also included from the previous version (released March 2005):

  • Optimizes memory handling and frees up more memory with non-volatile file system improvements (learn more)
  • Overall voice quality improvements and enhanced call clarity
  • Internal setting modification to allow correct access to Sprint Affiliate roaming partner networks (previously released as Sprint PCS Treo 650 Roaming Patch)
  • TTY (also known as TDD or Text Telephone) optimizations and improvements
  • Optimizations for data calls
  • Bluetooth Carkit drivers are now included in ROM (previously released as Carkit Update for Treo 650)
  • Bluetooth Headset Volume Increased

The TreoCentral Staff recommends that anyone upgrading follows the alternate installation instructions.
