Did anyone download the new update for the 680 ?

************************************************** ********************
Software Update for Palm(R) Treo(TM) 680 Smartphone for AT&T
************************************************** ********************

An important software update for the Palm(R)TreoTM 680 smartphone
is available immediately as a free download from
Palm - Support - Software Update for Palm Treo 680 Smartphone for AT&T

and should be installed by all AT&T/Cingular customers who purchase
a Treo 680 before June 11, 2007. The update should be downloaded to
their computer and then synchronized to their Treo 680. It's very
important that all AT&T/Cingular customers have this software update
on their device because it provides these significant improvements:

* Improved power management for better battery life.
* Camera update for improved battery life (available previously as a
standalone update).
* Helps correct distorted characters that can occur in the title bar
of the Phone application.
* Helps fix device "freezing" that may occur under certain conditions.
* System Lockout improvement for increased security.
* Support for the new Daylight Saving Time legislation (available
previously as a standalone update).
* Provides better support for networks unique to some Caribbean, Latin
American, and Asian countries.
* Updates Cingular branding, replacing it with the new AT&T branding.

Very important update. I made this a sticky. Thanks for posting. If the update works, it will fix some major issues with Cingular/AT&T users.

Hey thanks jafa73! Didn't even realize it had come out!

[jafa73]

I just did it, took about 20mins to complete and worked fine. the update was emailed to me from palm...So I hope this fixes alot of issues..

Hmmmm...I didn't get an email! I wonder how it works for those that installed the Palm Desktop in compatability mode.

I'm done with it. I do notice the phone start/end screens now have ATT on it but the top left of the phone screen still says Cingular. But that may have something to do with the system I'm on????

mine also still says cingular, I dont think that can be changed, but it would be nice if it did.

I just updated my phone with the new update. All seemed to be fine, but Google Maps(which I had on the phone) now crashes my 680. I am going to uninstall it and then re-install to see if that fixes the problem.


Edit: after uninstalling Google Maps from my 680 and re-installing, everything is working properly again. The update does keep your data, but I would suggest that everyone hotsync their 680 before doing the update.
