Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / T-Mobile / September 2004Treo 650
I have decided to get a Treo, but I might like to wait for the 650. Does anyone know when T-Mobile will be selling it? They were pretty slow, as in last, to get the 600. bushman >I have decided to get a Treo, but I might like to wait for the 650. Does >anyone know when T-Mobile will be selling it? They were pretty slow, as in >last, to get the 600. I heard next Thursday. That's what the guy in the mall kiosk told me. And if anyone should know it'd be him. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - >>I have decided to get a Treo, but I might like to wait for the 650.

I now have the 850mhz band on my t-mobile v600 now:) You can get the firmware and flex files on the net and the software to flash it yourself. >>>I have decided to get a Treo, but I might like to wait for the 650.

DONT EVEN tell some one they can just pop on the net and download the Firmware to activate a missing band on the Unit, which hasnt even been sold yet, especially a TREO.. Thats alotta money to spend. You dont even know if the hardware will even have the 850 capability. As to the Firmware, that may never be available, at least not readily. I have a TREO 600, please, tell me where I can go get the Firmware to flash that with TMOBILE Info. Simple, CANT As to the original poster. Dont jump into that phone until you find what has been crippled. if anything, and how it is crippled. Thats alotta bread to drop on a phone to have buyers remorse a week later. Good sources for info would be http://www.treocentral.com/ and www.palminfocenter.com http://www.engadget.com/entry/2746522431029510/ > Like the v600:) 19.99 for a usb cable took care of that.

I didnt mean that a Treo needs too.The treo already comes with 850 enabled, dunno why you would need to try to flex or flash it since its there already:) Since the Treo is QUAD band, there isnt a missing band on it :P~~~~ > The TREO is certainly not a Motorola V600.

The V600 is a quad band phone, but with one of the bands disabled if you buy it from T-Mobile. Is there any reason to believe the Treo will be any different? The previous poster's point was that it's _very_ easy to modify carrier settings on Motorola phones, but it's probably much harder to find software to do the same thing on a Treo. Considering when you walk into a tmobile store and read the info posted on the tmobile sign hanging on the wall above the display treo, that says it will do 850mhz, one would suspect that it will do 850, since tmobile is saying so in print. >> You misread my reply, I was commenting on the 850mhz band, saying that >> the [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > carrier settings on Motorola phones, but it's probably much harder to > find software to do the same thing on a Treo. http://tmobile.com/products/overview.asp?phoneid=228179&class=pda Read the features and basic info sections > You misread my reply, I was commenting on the 850mhz band, saying that the > v600 can be flexed to get it back (850mhz)on a tmobile v600.
