MSFP (AKU2) for Treo 700w?

[jproudfo]

Anyone know if Verizon plans on releasing a MSFP update for the 700w, at some point in the future?

It's supposedly a high priority item at Palm, but I can't pry an ETA out of them. As much as they want this phone adopted by corporate IT which was the rational behind it to begin with, I can't imagine they'll die on it. Larger question will be what impact Verizon will have on it's release once Palm does have it done, and it goes through the VZ channels it has to traverse.

I spoke with verizon's advanced data solutions manager in my area last night and he told me that word traveling to all the managers in verizon wireless is mid year 8O. Apparently a good number of people at verizon thought MSFP was going to be included with the 700 which wasn't the case. Hopefully verizon will hurry up and release it because that's the main reason people are buying the 700's.
