Treos to get WM6...

This is great news for me and other fellow WM Treo users. If this pushes through and we do get an update to WM6 then I guess I will be keeping my 750v for a bit longer. I must admit I'm a little peeved at myself. I bit the bullet yesterday and upgraded my 2G SIM to a 3G SIM... and now I can't use 3G on my Treo I am still unsure if it is a SIM or device issue [well the SIM was tested on a N73 and it worked so it must be the Treo] anyway I can stay in GSM mode just fine, when I switch to Auto and connect to GSM then UMTS, I can't call, sms, or surf. Switching to pure UMTS mode, I can't even get a signal. Shitballs! The thing is SMART has phased out 2G SIMs all the new SIMs they are releasing are 3G SIMs, the CS REP is trying to find me a 2G SIM. Shitballs! My only chance is to get a 2G SIM or a multi-line SIM [this one is also 2G] or get a ROM update which supports SMART's SIM for now I am stuck in GSM and GPRS booo! Still I am hoping that I have a defective SIM. Hmmm maybe I should have it replaced again...?

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.

Elopocalypse or Balmergeddon

So which is it? Nokia (NOK) and Microsoft (MSFT) announced a partnership today. Both lumbering companies have been in some trouble with their smartphone divisions. Both have been loosing market share to Apple, Android and Blackberry in recent years. WindowsMobile (previously PocketPC and currently WindowsPhone) once the dominant mobile OS, yes folks before the iPhone came into power Microsoft slowly but surely killed of it’s main competitor palm OS, which was acquired by hp last year and is now barely a sliver of a shadow of it’s former former former self. Just this week hp/palm unveiled 2 new smartphones the palm Pre 3 and Veer, as well as their entry into the tablet space with the TouchPad. hp being one of the top computer manufacturers at the moment has the resources to use and spread webOS like a creamy peanut butter across all markets they are in. By being one of MSFT’s biggest customers now suddenly not using Windows7 (still MSFT’s tablet OS of choice) and churning out comp...
