Link: The Official Palm Blog: Sprint 700p MR Available.
Well, finally the Palm Treo 700p update is available for Sprint customers , but we Verizon Wireless people are still waiting. Palm has alienated many Treo customers, and is losing business over this. Instead, it is banking its future on the "Fooleo", a really brain-dead UMPC sized flip top that connects to Treos via BlueTooth. People are so NOT going to want to carry a keyboard and screen to connect to their Palm. What they want is a Treo that doesn't crash. Don't get me wrong, the Treo is still the best and most versatile smart phone on the planet; however, Palm is making enemies of its best customers with its incompetence.
Everytime I read the words "Treo" and "crash" in close proximity I remember why I stay with my Blackberry, despite frequent temptation to go back to my PDA roots -- a Palm. The temptation stems from all of the "fun" software available for the Palm operating system. But, for business and email reliability, for now I won't switch.
