Yet Another Garnet Device. Sorry, but wake me up when something newsworthy happens.  RE: YAGD
Brace yourself--at least two more Garnet devices are going to be announced next week. Right now, ANY new POS hardware is newsworthy. I like the UI tweaks it looks like they've made to ol' FrankenGarnet! RE: YAGD
The Good News The next Palm Treo is in the wild and its EVDO on Sprint. The Bad News Its Garnet http://discussion.treocentral.com/showpost.php?p=817953&postcount=18 Surur RE: YAGD
Blazer 4.5? Let's hope that ".5" update is at least as good as the update from WebPro 3.0 to WebPro 3.5 was a while back. 700p on Sprint, 700w on Verizon. Comparable specs on both but $100 higher price tag on Sprint. Barring an unforseen tragedy, espect the units to flipflop and be available on both carriers by next summer. Gfunk, I thought you said EVDO couldn't be realistically supported under FrankenGarnet? RE: YAGD
As I see it, EVDO is just another wireless protocol. Im sure Garnet can do it, just not well. Surur RE: YAGD -- Who cares?
Perhaps I'm uninformed, but who cares? I've been using the Palm OS since 1999, and I've never had a real problem with the software. This Cobalt must be magic. RE: YAGD
Its quite simple really. Where in Garnet you would have a reset on error, in Cobalt you would probably just be returned to the launcher. Surur RE: YAGDDr Opinion @ 10/4/2005 4:15:01 PM #
That's just stupid, Surur. I've never heard of a Palm OS device locking up from a network problem. You must be thinking of that *other* PDA operating system made by our favorite convicted monopolist. :) RE: YAGD
Jeff, Who said anything about a network problems? In any case the Treo series is notorious for having resets and freezes in low signal areas. Surur RE: YAGD

> "...the Treo series is notorious for having resets and freezes in low signal areas..." So "notorious" that it became the most successful smartphone ever? Are wince devices *really* that bad by comparison? :) RE: YAGD
Whats the blazer version in the simulator? I don't know, but 4.3 isn't new is it? More telling perhaps is this: Why would it have logged "Windows 98" if it wasn't hosted (i.e. simulated) on Windows 98? RE: YAGD
Jeff, enough already. Your constant prattling with no connection to reality is intensely boring. Surur RE: YAGD
Thats not meaningful. The new PPC-6700 reports as Windows NT 5.1 Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; Sprint:PPC-6700 Its probably just a reflection of the capabilities of the device. Surur RE: YAGDDr Opinion @ 10/4/2005 5:19:07 PM #
> "...Jeff..." Surur, your desperate attempts to get me to reveal my personal data are as transparent as they are pathetic. Is this the best strategy your microsoft handlers could come up with for you? :) > "...The new PPC-6700 reports as [blah]..." This is a palm site, fool. Keep on topic. :) RE: YAGD
Treo 650 & T5 shipped with Blazer 4.0 LifeDrive had 4.1 4.3 and beyond do not appear on any presently shipping devices. With Blazer definitely updated let's hope they now do something about the house of cards that is VersaMail! RE: YAGD
There's quite a few 4.5's also. 301 0.619s (200k) spcsdns.net Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98; PalmSource/Palm-D052; Blazer/4.5) Surur RE: YAGD
While a re-release of a garnet GSPDA unit may not be the biggest news, they at least managed to get the prize for strange color themes. They picked the wrong phone to rebrand though, they should have picked the GSPDA M68. It's a lot better looking IMHO. I'll either buy that or the new POS treo. Maybe clamshells is the big thing in China? Aren't clamshells bought mostly by young girls? Most of them don't need or want PalmOS... RE: YAGD
Palm needs a cheap (orange!?!) & semi stylish Treo flipphone, plain and simple. No frills but good build quality and a solid featureset. Give it specs somewhere in between a 600 and a 650. Sell it for $200 or less w/ contract. It's fine with FrankenGarnet. Watch all of the college kids carry one! Blazer versions??
Nexave.de (German Palm site) said a few weeks ago that the TX was going to ship with Blazer 4.3 standard. Could someone be tethering their TX to a phone w/ BT on Sprint? Perhaps the Treo 700p will ship in early '06 and have an even newer version of Blazer (4.5?). Maybe the .5 indicates EVDO compliance? RE: YAGD

I agree. Unfortunately, for now this one is selling (English version) for $429 this side of China.
