After several calls and more research I\nhave a few updates.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of referrals came in from a\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pocketpcthoughts.com\/forums\/viewtopic.php?p=395604\">thread<\/a>\nabout the SMS text messaging issue for the Palm Treo 700w on the Verizon\nnetwork. Text messages are sent to tell Pocket Outlook to synchronize with the\nserver but unless you have the TXT Messaging feature on your plan you get\ncharged $0.10 per text message incoming or outgoing. You can either setup your\ndevice to only sync on a schedule or ask Verizon about the PDA 2000 SMS\nALLOWANCE.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the stereo headset only playing the right channel, it turns out\nthat the left channel is dead on the Palm Treo 700w. I was afraid of that. Palm\ndoes sell a\n<a href=\"http:\/\/web.palm.com\/products\/Product.jhtml?id=80006&amp;cat=20023\">stereo\nheadphone adapter<\/a> that not only adapts the 2.5mm jack to a standard 3.5mm\njack for stereo headphones, but also splits the right channel so that it&#8217;s heard\nin both ears. With <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Stereo\">stereophonic\nsound<\/a> dating back to 1937 and pretty much taken for granted in devices these\ndays, I&#8217;m a little disappointed about this. I wasn&#8217;t planning on using this for\nin-flight entertainment since\n<a href=\"http:\/\/spaces.msn.com\/heaths\/blog\/cns!9415F61CBB1A8030!364.entry\">we\nhave<\/a> the\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.creative.com\/products\/product.asp?category=210&amp;subcategory=211&amp;product=9882\">\nCreative Zen Portable Media Center<\/a> so I&#8217;m not too displeased about this.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding updates for the other problems including the 25-file limit for DRM-protected\nmusic, Palm asked me to keep an eye on the\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.palm.com\/us\/support\/treo\/treo700wverizon\/\">Palm Treo 700w\n(Verizon) Support<\/a> site. Hopefully these updates won&#8217;t require a complete ROM\nrefresh but they weren&#8217;t sure.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I previously mentioned some problems I was having with the Palm Treo 700w and that these were not isolated issues.
