Looks like Treocentral user “Kash76″ is 2 for 2 on announcing the firmware updates for the Sprint PCS Treo 650. Announced to be released before the end of June and said to have fixes for Versamail, issues regarding speed-dial delays, and BlueTooth fixes - he wound up being right on. Tonight palmOne released firmware version 1.12, with some great and much sought after features and fixes.
 New with version 1.12:
- Enables Bluetooth Dial-Up Networking
- Updates VersaMail to version 3.1 to enhance stability and add improvements
- Adds support for more Bluetooth carkits including Acura, BMW, Chrysler, Toyota Prius (see all compatible car kits)
- Reduces post-dial delay before a call is connected
- Send SMS messages from Missed Call Alert or Call Log
- Now there’s a new user guide that incorporates the changes after running the Treo 650 Updater: Treo 650 User Guide (PDF)
The firmware update also includes the previous 1.08 firmware update that was released in March.
- Optimizes memory handling and frees up more memory with non-volatile file system improvements (learn more)
- Overall voice quality improvements and enhanced call clarity
- Internal setting modification to allow correct access to Sprint Affiliate roaming partner networks (previously released as Sprint PCS Treo 650 Roaming Patch)
- TTY (also known as TDD or Text Telephone) optimizations and improvements
- Optimizations for data calls
- Bluetooth Carkit drivers are now included in ROM (previously released as Carkit Update for Treo 650)
Looks like Marc will be busy updating his unlocked Treo 650 and now, so will I. I think hamsammich has the Cingular Treo, he is really going to be itchin’ for an update now - along with the rest of the Cingular users. I am personally thrilled about the BT DUN and the delay fix.
