Talk about closing the gate after, long after, the cows come home, but yes, 'tis true, the Treo 700wx has finally gotten a Windows Mobile 6 update. The update delivers support for Microsoft Vista, HTML mail, Office 2007, Inbox search, grins, and lollipops for all. Of course, coming from Windows Mobile 5, this will be a serious day of celebrating for Palm users over at Verizon -- and it's actually surprising that this happened -- as the usual response "please upgrade your device" has been passed over. The read link will get you to where you need to be friends, enjoy it, you deserve it if you're still using this set.

is it 6.1?

No, just WM6
It's actually probably better to use Ebag333's custom WM Treo rom's anyways...more stripped down and faster (works even on the 700w)

Well, whatever they can get I guess. Custom ROMs sound better, but an official setup is always welcome.

I got so tired waiting for this I did the Ebag Trimmed WM6 ROM...

Since when does a $550 cost justify a 0.1 OS development advancement for the sake of newly updated button graphics? Get real! The above bartenders serving free Koolaid are also giving you a reach-around and hoping you don't notice. ;)

Now it's Sprint who needs to release a WM6 update for that same Treo 700wx. I just graduated from HTC ROM kitchen school (cooked my very first own working Sprint-bloatware-less ROM for my HTC Mogul with updated Courier/Tahoma fonts, WM6 Japanese input/display support, and PHM Registry Editor), and now I'm ready to cook Treo 700wx ROM, but first I need Sprint or Palm to release new WM6 ROM so I can dump it, remove its Sprint bloatware, and re-bake it with updated fonts and Japanese support.
