AT&T requiring Treo 680 users to upgrade their firmware

AT&T requiring Treo 680 users to upgrade their firmwareIt was once upon a time, well actually more like December 2007 when Palm announced the last firmware update for the AT&T branded Treo 680 and since then it seems that some users have chosen to not update.  Put it this way, that update came so long ago that one of the features that it included was the re-branding from Cingular to AT&T.

Anyway, flash forward to August 2009 and AT&T is now mandating users to perform that upgrade.  According to reports, remaining Treo 680 users have begun receiving text messages stating that they will be required to update their device sometime before September 15 in order to continue using it.  In addition to those text message alerts, AT&T is also reportedly sending out written notification by way of the snail mail.
