WM6 finally ported to Treo 700wx

[Romeo5k]

as i was just about to upgrade i had to call sprint to fix my email problem i had with sprintpcs email and some spamming that has been going on.. IDK how that happened but oh well.
I tell the lady im thinking of getting rid of my phone and getting an instinct or maybe even changing the OS on the 700wx. She informs me to wait till middle of July sometime. She said The new treo will be out. Its gonna be called Treo 800W. With the GPS and bluetooth stuff all buolt in and with pic mail. I dont trust the pic mail stuff tho. So im hoping SomeGuyMMS will be able to create one for WM6.1. At least the lady said thats whats gonna be on the 800W. So i guess im gonna wait for a sec.. Ill give it about a monthand a half see how the 800w goes, and might end up upgrading..

Another quick stability report:

I have push mail set up and I have had issues with push mail trying to sign on. At time I have what I call Sh** Storms at work where an issue will come up on a project and I get a call and I have to coordinate getting my installer, customer, and future owner of the equipment on the same page at the same time. While I am doing this I have 5 to 15 people waiting for an answer. So I have to make 3,4,5 phone calls back to back as fast as possible. I have had my 700wx cancel my attempt at making a call to sign on to data trying to update the push mail. I have changed my push settings to every 15 minutes for now until I can get this figured out.

Hi Big D5,

Have you ever try this WM6 ROM on any Palm Treo 700w (not Wx) yet? I have an 700w of Verizon and need to upgade to WM6, but i am not sure that how can my 700w compatible with this 700wx's WM6 ROM.

Can i use this 700wx's ROM for my 700w?

Just my two cents... but i'm pretty sure the 700w can't handle WM6... or if it can... it would be so slow it might not be worth it

[mokash34]

has anyone had trouble with setting up activesync with the wm6 rom on the 700wx?

i cannot connect to my server at work... other than that... all is well


oh ya one more thing... i used ebags trimmed wm6 rom and it's missing MSN messanger and it's not letting me connect to hotmail.... any advice?

EDIT: I downloaded the Windows Live cab from XDA and i'm all set! let me know if you have this problem and need help

Hi, please explain to me for more details about your answer which you said that the 700w "would be so slow it might not be worth it"? I think both 700w and 700wx specification are the same. So why did you say 700w would be slower than 700wx???

I found 700w/wx spec here:

no difference, except a little thing call RAM.

I've always been under the impression that the 700w has about half the RAM of the 700wx. I remember when the WX came out... people made a big deal since it was way faster and could handle more programs running at a time.

can anyone confirm?

my 700wx has about 57MB of RAM ... what does your 700w have? maybe i'm wrong, but i'd like to know haha
