Treo 650 Quandary
Less than a week after the Treo 650's release, a genius named shadowmite has patched the Bluetooth manager to enable BT Dial-Up Networking. He changed two bytes. Hmmm, makes me just a little skeptical about Sprint's claims. As Gameboy70 speculates:
My theory is that Sprint originally wanted to portray DUN as nonexistent on the 650, and since all carriers are concerned with bandwidth hogs, Sprint expected Cingular and T-Mobile to disable the profile likewise. But they didn't, and therefore made Sprint's DUN profile conspicuous by its absence. What's followed has been a public relations conundrum.
Of course, this could all be a big conspiracy theory, since the word is that the patch is not terribly stable ... but really, has Vision DUN ever been "stable"?
So now I'm in a quandary. Do I stick with Sprint and get the Treo 650 now, or do I wait until next year for the GSM version and jump ship to Cingular? I'm leaning towards making the switch next year.
