Hey all,
I imagine most people tuned in to the whole Treo 750 WM6 issue have read this already, but I didn't see a link in this forum so I figured I'd share with everyone.

Palm has announced the upcoming availability of the Windows Mobile 6 Professional Edition operating system update for the Palm Treo 750 smartphone.

Palm's Country Manager for Australia and New Zealand, Olivier Rozay said, "Building upon the successful launch of the Treo 750 in Australia earlier this year, Palm is pleased to introduce the new Windows Mobile 6 update to the Treo 750 smartphone. The hallmark Palm experience combined with the Windows Mobile 6 Professional Edition on the award-winning Treo 750 delivers a compelling mobile experience to customers."

Hutchison 3 customers in Australia can download the free update from mid-August from Palm's Australian website while other customers will be able to download the update starting September.

The Treo 750 is a 3G phone that combines a phone with email, messaging, web browsing and organisation software. Microsoft's Windows Mobile 6 brings a powerful computing experience to the small screen, improving how people do business on the go on a single device. Windows Mobile 6 delivers an experience that's easy for people to use, and simple and cost-effective for businesses to deploy.


So do AT&T customers fall under "other customers"? It would seem likely, but unfortunately it means a few more weeks until the official ROM is released. XDA developers has a bunch of mirrors of a leaked version in case you just can't wait to pull the trigger.

Thanks for the link, been waiting to hear about this. Maybe AT&T wanted to see how the upgrade goes in Australia before releasing it here? Or maybe they had some special arrangement with Palm/Microsoft to get the upgrade before anyone else. Kind of frustrating, but I can wait one more month I guess for the official release. (that'll give me time to get a new miniSD card!)
