Once reading alot of posts of people turning thier treos into PDAs, I installed this firmware update out of curiosity. I have gotten lucky with my Treo. I haven't seen any of the problems others have posted about. I have even dropped it many times, and I have accidentally kicked it once (was a reflex I put my foot out to soften the blow when I dropped it, and ended up kicking it). I still don't have any problems with it. Even though there were many steps to the updae, I completed it successfully. The Treo still performs the way it always has, and I haven't visually noticed any real improvements. If you are not having any major issues with your phone, then I don't see why you would want to update it. The benifits do not out weigh the risks. If your phone keeps locking up after sending messages, then just keep taking it back to the store it was purchased from. You put in your post that Verizon claimed that the firmware update would fix your problem. If that is true, then a verizon store should be willing to place the firmware update on the phone for you. |
