Sprint Palm Treo 755p owners will be glad to hear that there's a new firmware update available for their buggy handset. Reportedly, the new ROM v1.07 should improve "audio, stability, software quality and device usability", however there are no concrete update details published at this time, unfortunately.
Anyway, MS Windows users can flash their device over HotSync or SD-card installation; Mac users can only use the SD-card installation method.
You all probably know that a new iPhone firmware update 1.1.3 is coming soon, and we are glad to inform you that, according to MacScoop, it will add Copy/Paste functionality, a very needed feature currently lacking in the handset.
As expected, Apple didn't confirm that information, but we surely hope this is true.
Apple has released its latest iPhone firmware update v.1.1.1. As usual, the new version offers some additional features and tweaks, which are listed below. But be aware that installing it can render your handset unusable. There are many reports of unlocked iPhones refusing to read the AT&T SIM-cards after the update process has finished.
We have some new details concerning the LG VX8800 cell phone.
The handset is equipped with a 2Mpix camera, instead of 1.3Mpix one mentioned earlier. Still, there is no AutoFocus and flash. The scroll wheel is replaced with an interactive Dynamic Color TFT Touchpad. Also, there are two new themes available, the standard "Verizon" and the new one you see on the photos.
Apple is about to release the third software update (probably 1.1.1.) for the iPhone that will improve the overall performance of the handset and will add several new features, including support for the company's new iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store, inaccessible on the current firmware versions.
Motorola has posted a software update for the Q, which is currently available in the US exclusively through Verizon Wireless. The update includes both security fixes and new features. Most welcome will be the addition of dial-up-networking (DUN) support through Bluetooth or USB. While the feature needs an accompanying data plan, it has been a hotly requested feature. Other new features include push email support and remote device erase for users under an Exchange 2003 server.
