palm Treo 680 PDA Phone (Unlocked)

One of the downsides to having a lighter, slimmer form factor with the Treo 680 is the smaller capacity battery. While the battery life was expected to be worse than the Treo 650, many new users did not expect that the Treo 680 would be unable to last a single day without a charge. It turns out that the culprit is the Treo 680 camera, which drains power from the battery even when it’s on standby mode. If you have a Treo 680, do go to Palm’s website and download the fix. Palm calls it the Treo 680 Camera Update, which is perhaps unfortunate because most people would assume that had nothing to do with battery life!

The download is 88kb, and should only be used with the Treo 680.
