is there anyway i can install windows on the treo 755p from sprint???
This can be answered with a very short answer: No.
This is not just because of the software, but also the hardware in the devices are different.

The 750, like all Treo's is a PDA phone, not a smartphone, even though they call them smartphones.

I understand that...
There are 2 versions of WM5 a smartphone version and a pocket pc version (with touch screen)...They have the treo 750 listed in the smartphone section (here) but I thought it was a PPC version of WM5
That's what I was trying to say. The 750v like all Windows Mobile Treo's use WM5 PPC Phone Edition OS. Yes you are correct that it should not be in the smartphone section.
Gotcha....thanks

Cheetah Cingular ROM
Once I have performed this update on my 750v, how will I be able to retrieve the updated versions of the Cingular ROM? This version seems to be full of annoying bugs.
So far there's no other available ROM.
yet... I hear that there will be a new ROM soon (Mid Jan).
Auto Disconnect on Treo 750
I had a piece of software for the Kaiser that made a boatload of tweaks to the registry, and it did two that I liked; one was an autodisconnect of the data (GPRS/EDGE/3G) after x number of seconds (I believe it defaulted to 600) and another that enabled the HSDPA icon for 3G.
That software did not work on my 750 because it needs Net 2.0, so I was wondering if anyone might have the settings I need to add/change for these registry entries??
I will also post this in the Kaiser forum, in hopes of an answer there. many thanks in advance for all the help!

Do any of these cab files work for a q9h? Would love to go the pro route.
What cab files are you talking about?
Sorry. Is there a CAB that will allow me to put WM6 Pro on my q9h from AT&T? I had WM6 on a Treo 750 and like it much better than WM6.
You can't use cab to upgrade ROM.
By the way doesn't that phone come with WM6 preinstalled? I don't think I understand what are you asking for. Do you mean WM6 Proffesional edition? If yes, then that's not possible. WM6 Professional is former WM Pocket PC and WM6 Standart is former WM Smartphone.
That clears up my confusion. Thanks.
hey guys (and girls where aplicable),
i got a question (a sorta dumb one). If a smartphone lik the iPAQ 514 Voice Messenger or the HTC Vox have windows mobile 6 standard does that mean they run regular windows mobile programs or smartphone versions? See the Cheeta/treo 750 has windows mobile standard ed. and is called a smartphone but it uses regular PPC programs, the other two mentioned before have the same wm6 but no touch screen. so i was wondering if that made a diference in the phones capabilities to use PPC Progs? I appreciate any answers as i am greatly puzzled and intregued buy this.
With WM6 they dispensed with the term "smartphone" in favour of WM 6 Standard. Too many non Windows Mobile phones were being called "smart phones" as well as PPC phones.
WM Standard has no support for touch screens and many PPC apps will not run on it.
WM Pro has touchscreens.
understanding versions...
so lemmie go over this... a ppc with a touch screen is said to run WM6 pro, a ppc without a touch screen is said to run wm6 standard the "smartphone" version. so what of the vox? it has all the capabilities of a full sized PPC without the touch screen so where would it and the ipaq 514 fit in? Because correct me if i'm wrong but dont they offer features like MS Office editing and production verus the others whose ability is limited to viewing or is it the WM6 platform that actually enables this?
You're right, its just a functionality of WM6. Any smartphone (i.e. non-Touch screen device) running WM6 has those same office capabilities and will be running WM6 Standard, not Professional.
As far as I know the two WM6 are one same core of the same OS but..
In the PPC version there is more advanced setup in the menus wich setup is locked in the Srtandard by default.
For example in the Standard there is no way to change the IP of the wi-fi manually.
And in the pocket pc there is some dll's, responsible for touchscreen operation .
yes but....
i do believe you might be correct on everything but the I.P setup for standard. i have an sda running wm6 and i can manually setup my wifi and change certain settings in the network config. Also the HP ipaq 514 that i've been researching also has the same features. see my big thing is i love he compact size of the smart phone but need the capabilities of the PPC. It wold be great if i could get the best of both. i know the O2 XDA stealth has that exact combo but they are hard to find and kinda pricey for thier age.
There are separate SDKs for Standard and Pro, so I think the differences run a little deeper.
well what to do?
well i guess my final questions then wuld be what kind of phone are:-
1/ O2's xda stealth
2/ HP's Ipaq 514
Where i can find some trick for a Palm Treo 680?
It uses Palm OS.
I would like to know if exist a site like this one for Palm Os.
Thanks
