NOTE: Update for Treo 600 crashing device

palmOne just released a software update for the Treo 600 that fixes a few things and enhances the audio quality of calls. Be careful because it will crash your phone! There are reports that there isn't much of an improvement in audio quality. So if it ain't broken...don't fix it.

The software release differs for various carriers’ networks, but in general, it enhances performance and reliability. The updater for Sprint ups the software version to v1.20 and some of the changes include:

• The palmOne POP3 email client has been incorporated into the Sprint ROM. The client has been pre-configured for the Sprint PCS POP3 settings.
• The browser now supports playback of voice memos that might be received with incoming Picture Mail messages.
• The browser now supports playback of inline MIDI ringtones.
• The SMS application now supports Message Priority so that users can assign high or low priority to all outgoing messages. Additionally, all incoming messages now display high or low priority.
• The audio-quality reliability is enhanced.
• The palmOne car kit now is supported.
• Browser has been improved to better handle redirect links used in conjunction with the Sprint download service.
• Software now reflects palmOne naming and branding.

The update is only for the Sprint version of the Treo. Other carriers to follow. So if you really must have the update, get the Treo 600 Updater here.
