 vs. a Blackberry because of Palm’s lack of push-email support can finally make the jump. Palm today has announced an upgrade for the 700p and 680 models of the popular Treo that grant it push email syncing capabilities with Microsoft Exchange.</p>
<p>The lack of the feature has led many away from the Palm OS camp, and Palm is hoping that the software upgrade, free from its site starting Monday, will change that. What’s not clear, however, is what will happen to the future of the Treos based on the Palm OS, as upcoming incarnations of the software are confusingly <a href=)
The update will be available as an OTA download for 700p and 680 users only, we 650 die hards are again left out in the cold.

650 Diehards? What about us cheap neandrathals on the 600??
It is depressing, and looks very costly since their isn’t a great migration path at this time. The 680 puts you on Cingular/AT&T and doesn’t do much of an overall upgrade.
Don’t want to go MSFT or phone-based software….any clues into the next step? iDon’t go there at this point…that would still be iCingular and iCostly…

@ NW Guy: I can see a 650 user shying away from a 680 upgrade, as it’s more of a sidegrade anyway, the new features mostly being stylistic. But if you’re using a 600, then a 680 is a much larger leap. Think unlocked… ;-)
@ Stickney: The direct push stuff works with versamail, but I’m ok with that. And keep your kid, one day he’ll want to meet his real dad, and I don’t wanna be there for that.
