Upgrading Treo 750v VODAFONE

---

Hi

I like to know the following... I won a Treo 750v
It is vodafone branded device. This device is running WM5 and I like to upgrade it to WM6.

I found the image to download on the Palm site. There is a VODAFONE image for the netherlands and a generic image.

What I wanted to ask:

1. If I upgrade from WM5 to WM6 with the VODAFONE IMAGE, do I loose the nice SMS gui that looks like a chatview and Do I loose the speeddailer add-in? Or is this not vodafone specific but just WM5 or WM6 specific.

2. When I upgrade with the VODAFONE image does this apply a simlock on the treo device?? The device now does NOT have a simlock but is still VODAFONE branded. Or should I upgrade with the generic Image?


I hope you understand the "problem" I have.... Love to software in the device wth WM5, want to upgrade to WM6 without loosing the nice SMS chatview and speeddailer, so I would choose the VODAFONE image. But also don't want to end up with a simlock so this would point to the generic image.... but this image may not provide the nice sms chatview and speeddialer.


Anyone an idea?

OK... Well I did some calling with vodafone and palm...

vodafone asured me that the phone wouldn't be simlocked with an update of the vodafone image on the palmsite....

After 3 chatsessions with palmsupport I finally spoke someone who would actually look into the papers about the speeddailer and threaded sms client
ANd also said it was included WM6...

SO I updated the device with the dutch vodafone image for WM6...

AND...

All turned out just fine!!! No simlock, got the speeddailer and the threaded sms client!!

The only thing vodafone did not tell me is, that now when I switch off and on the GSM radio I get and big fat vodafone LOGO on my device instead of a palm logo.....

Should have picked the generic ..... heheheh !!!

Generic

You can install the Generic update from here and follow this instruction to avoid unsupported device error. The Rest of the World English version has the latest in both OS and Radio version. The best news is, there's no "Big Fat Vodafone Logo" in it. Enjoy!
