Palm updates Treo 750 with Windows Mobile 6.0 Winmo6 WM6Here’s yet another official Windows Mobile 6.0 upgrade for you guys. This time it’s unbranded, generic Palm Treo 750′s in the US (remember, Australia already got this update, so you can stop holding your breath now) that get the WinMo6 treatment. The WM6 update comes to us straight from Palm, so those of you using an AT&T-spec Palm Treo 750 are out of luck.

Aside from the obvious bump-up to a fresh Windows Mobile 6.0 installation, Palm Treo 750 owners will be glad to hear that the update will enhance your email experience and allow for USB charging. We’re just left with one question – when is AT&T going to get with the program and release their own WM6 update for all those Treo 750 owners that opted for an AT&T-subsidized and branded smartphone?

If you shelled out the clams for an unbranded and unlocked Palm Treo 750, and you want to get jiggy with Windows Mobile 6.0, head on over to Palm’s download site. You’ll need to have your Palm Treo 750′s serial number handy.

    Unbelievable. Thnaks Palm and AT&T. After years of buying palms I had no chice because my company uses cingular/att to go to windows mobile os type palm

    After using the 750 I can say that windows sucks, Palm OS sis so far superior but I guess that is why iphone is what palm should have been. All they had to do was take the t5 and make it a phone, large screen, palm os.

    ask apple.

    Palm will get what it deserves by abandoning what worked and it’s up til now loyal customers . A year from now they will cease to exist. Go gphone.
