The latest Treo rumor is calling for the Verizon branded 700wx to be getting an upgrade. The details are coming from some leaked “internal training slides” but sounds a little strange because it specifically mentions Windows Mobile 6 Professional, and not 6.1 as most would expect at this time. Either way, according to the rumor this will be update 1.24 and is coming sometime during the summer.

It would be a nice update to see come true, but this is one that I will not be holding my breath for. This is going to have to be one of those that we just sit back and wait, either for some additional details or for the update to actually happen. Also notable is that this Windows Mobile 6 update will be just for Verizon users and not be coming to those Treo 700wx users on Sprint.

A new online resource from Palm could prove to be helpful for some of the new Palm smartphone owners. With the recent popularity (and the low price) of the Centro we are now seeing a whole new group of smartphone users, some who may not be as technology friendly. These new Self-Paced Learning guides from Palm should offer them the needed help to use their smartphone like a pro.

Palm has guides available for the Treo 500v, 680, 700w, 700wx, 700p, 750 and the Centro from both Sprint and AT&T. The guides offer up some tutorials on topics like getting to know your smartphone, setting up your smartphone,  sending email, browsing the web, tips, tricks and a whole lot more.
