I have performed the upgrade on my Vodaphone Treo 750v and am now successfully running WM6.
Notes: 1. The upgrade software is available only to registered Palm customers. You can download the software only ONCE.
2. Had some problems during the install - my PC refused to recognise my device after the device rebooted. Was successful on the 5th time (I am a patient man after all..)
New Features: 1. Now I can send contacts as vCards - last time had to edit a contact and copy out and paste the mobile number into a SMS text message.
2. Overall perforance is much faster and less buggy. No more frequent soft resets or unplugging of battery.
3. Windows Word Mobile - faster handling of large text and Word docs (1 MB above). It makes for a more enjoyable experiece when reading ebooks or long reports.
4. Less hogging of internal memory. Feels like there's some sort of more efficient memory cache management running around somewhere.
Concern: My phone software version remains at 1.15-VFE (no change even after upgrade though the look and feel is WM6)
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just switched to Sprint from Verizon about three months ago for the Pre. Then I went for the Hero about a week ago. Now, I miss my hardware keyboard and am thinking about switching to the Moment. I am still able to switch back to Verizon if I want and get the Droid when it arrives. Should I just trade up to the Moment when it comes out, see if I like it, and if not switch to the Droid? Or something else entirely? Help!"
