Treo 700w, 700wx get upgraded features via update
We like unofficial Treo 700w updates just like anyone, but it brings bigger smiles to our faces when official updates come down the beaten path via manufacturer downloads.That's right -- Palm has released an update to the Verizon Wireless 700w that includes some nifty additions. WM5 gets upgraded to version 1.22 as well as new support for DUN tethering over USB and Bluetooth. Laptop tetherers will feast on that one. Anyhoo, official A2DP stereo Bluetooth is in there too, as well as single-touch speakerphone and mute buttons sitting right on the home screen. Usability enhancements get us giddy, and this update from Palm serves it up nicely. Sadly, the 700wx upgrade for Sprint customers also available just gets A2DP and DUN support over Bluetooth but nothing else of real substance. Pity.[Via Boy Genius Report]

Can Palm design a device that doesn't look like it's from 2002? Come on already! What's with the bricks?

I have run the update and I am waiting for my Bluespoon Spider headset to charge and i am going to try the A2DP settings.
Can't wait for this to work!

This is probably a stupid question, but does this mean that Verizon customers can now connect their Treo to their laptop to use the internet on the Treo and not have to pay Verizon $15/month anymore. The update says support for dial up networking, but it could do this before if you paid Verizon extra.
