Verizon users still have to wait though, and customers of other carriers will not get the update at all according to this page. TreoCentral users have created a post tracking incompatibilities and changes!
Please talk back if it works on your 700p!

“…and SDHC cards…”
Oooh… Pretty.
Perhaps this may just be compatible with other machines? Just the driver files that are associated with this?
That would be COOOL!
I just hope they get the verizon one out soon, then I can try it out finally.
Hi Daniel,
AFAIK; instructions to flash Sprint ROMs onto other carrier’S Treos are available in enthusiast forums already. However, the problem is that this is said to disable EVDO – so YMMV!
If you do try it, tell us how it went!
Best regards
Tam Hanna
so what if you flash it too an alltel one that you want to use on the sprint network will evdo work then.
