palm Treo 750v 1.16 Desktop Updater is Out

Last week Vodafone NL released a NBH update [miniSD] which was promptly take down after just 24 hrs. Now it seems a new update is out, this time it's a desktop updater. Thanks to TreoCentral user hagenuk for the heads up :o) it seems that this update is easier to do. You just connect the Treo, open the EXE and wait for the update to finish. No more fumbling with button combo's and sd card formatting.

So far from hagenuk's screenies and comments there are 2 things that the desktop updater does that the NBH update doesn't:
  1. Updates Software Version to TREO750-1.16-VFE, the NBH update only updated the Firmware version [to 1.12.0c.00] and AKU [to 2.6]
  2. Doesn't require a hard reset [data is intact after update], the NBH update required a hard reset upon completion

Personally I haven't done the update yet [I forgot my charger at home... booh!] maybe tonight.

I suggest you grab the update before Voda NL takes it down again. CLICKY

Coron Labor Day Weekend Getaway

The weather wasn’t as cooperative as we would’ve liked but I think we made the most of it :D [waiting for our flight to Busuanga] We went to the saltwater hot spring, island hoping, and had a whole lot of fun at Loralee’s luau. [The water is FIIIIINE!!!] [dinner at Bistro Coron] [Happy Birthday Loralee :D] Coron is one heck of a lovely place… just remember to bring mosquito repellent. http://www.flickr.com/photos/bnycastro/tags/coron_0509

Darth Kegaw to Treo 750: It is Useless to Resist

I have never been one to keep my devices *as is* when it comes to the OS/Firmware… This 2nd Treo 750 will be no different. So I dusted off my old Cheetah files [trivia: the Treo 750 is codenamed HTC Cheetah] and decided to HARD SPL [this allows for non-carrier branded ROMs to be loaded] and flashed it to a Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM. Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen… and the ROM loaded without any issues. I did notice that Microsoft Voice Command 1.6 was not included in this ROM not really a problem since I own the software as well.  I’m currently syncing my PIM data and will be installing my apps over the next few days.
