Comments on: Handspring Releases GPRS Update in Canada
Handspring is rolling out this upgrade on a country-by-country basis. Earlier this month a version was released in Singapore and New Zealand. The company strongly recommends that Treo users not install this upgrade if they aren't in the country it was designed for. Handspring will give no support to people who have problems with this upgrade who aren't in the country it was intended for.

By the way: why is your outdated 'what is wrong ...' link back again?

RE: OMG! Canada gets it first!
I just get a kick out of people freaking out.
Anyways....
Anyone in Canada actually try the GPRS patch yet? I know that GPRS coverage in my area (Winnipeg) is actually very spotty. I thought that a strong GSM signal also meant an equally strong GPRS signal. Apparently, that isn't so, and I need to reboot my Ericsson phone all the time just to reconnect via GPRS.
I wonder if the Treo's would automatically reconnect without rebooting...?

RE: OMG! Canada gets it first!
Having seen it demonstated a few weeks ago (in Canada), it would seem yes and no.
It can optionally be set to be active all the time, however in practice I'm told that connections can time out (perhaps due to periods of marginal signal). In that case, a manual reconnect is needed. This was demonstrated, and it took as long as a circuit switched connection to re-link.
Conspiracy Theory
It can also be used on the Fido system with patch

OMG! Canada gets it first!
I haven't heard any news of a US carrier getting this patch, so I'm assuming that Canada is somehow first for this patch in North America.
