Palm: Treo 700p/w/wx software update makes your data connection bug out – our bad

You know that little software update that Palm (NSDQ: PALM) released for its Treo 700p, Treo 700w, and Treo 700wx? Well, Verizon (NYSE: VZ) customers definitely do. They’ve been experiencing buggy data connections after updating their precious Treo 700s with the presumably benign patch. In response, Palm has pulled the update from their website, citing users’ complaints that the update rendered their Treo useless for data transactions – resulting in a “Error 3000 – Data network is not available” message.
The company has “taken down the Verizon Wireless Treo 700p and 700w/wx updaters as a result of increasing customer reports of network connectivity issues following the updates. We are currently investigating the issue and will re-post as soon as they become available.”
If you’ve been experiencing this problem, rest assured, Palm is working on it. In the meantime, head on over to your local Verizon Wireless Store and talk to a tech about service or replacement.
Oh, and let us know if you’ve been frustrated by this problem, will ya?

Palm treo 700p is a terrible phone. It behaves strange often. When the y, h, b buttons are pressed while typing an email or txt msg, etc, the screen cycles the app icon screens many many times. Sometimes it takes 20 minutes to stop this cycling. I am not happy with this phone. Palm is horrible at tech support to.
