Palm webinar about Treo 700w ended. Bad news: push e-mail delayed SIGNIFICANTLY February 01, 2006 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. R. Microsoft's push e-mail solution may be (almost) revolutionary because it cuts out all the middlemen (or rather middleware for which, users need to pay monthly fees - for example BlackBerry users): 
... but according to today's webinar from Palm, where also Microsoft employees were present, the MSFP (i.e. push e-mai) will be released "this year", so it means: not anymore "fist quarter 2006" and not anymore "first half 2006" but "in year 2006". This is big delay. We present hereby transcript of FAQ session (that took place during the webinar) plus whole audio recording of the webinar: Audio recording of this webinar you can find here (MP3 file, 18.6 MB) and below you can find (partial) transcript of the FAQ session that took place during this webinar (some more interesting points are highlighted with bold font). * * * * * Question: If I get called away during the webinar, will I be able to rewind the video and watch it later? Answer: Please use menu. Tools, Review Resource allows you to preview presentation back and forth as needed. Question: Will the speaker on my computer pick up the sound Answer: No, attendees are muted by the system. Question: Do I need to phone in to be qualified for the giveaway? Answer: The only way to hear the webinar is to dial in via phone: 800-811-2508 - conference id: 4810692 Question: No Audio Answer: 800 811 2508 Question: still on music hold Answer: thanks for your patience Question: should i be able to hear audio on the computer Answer: No, you have to dial in: 800-811-2508, conference id: 4810692 Question: Are we starting...? Answer: shortly Question: will the full presentation be made avalable includign the audio Answer: yes Question: How long the conference will last? Answer: an hour Question: Has the conference bridge opened up yet Answer: please dial in at 800 811 2508 Question: where will service centers be located and will level 1, 2 and 3 be readily available? Answer: Verizon Wireless customer support handles all Level1 calls. You must obtain a Ticket Number from WDTS first before contacting Palm ar anyone else and only if instructed to do so by Verizon Wireless Customer Support. Palm can provide Enterprise planning and support if arranged through your Verizon Wireless account manager. Question: We have a few of the 700's in the offie with exchange 03 and have not be able to set up true push (have been getting text messages) email is that gong to be covered?

It says, "re-enter meeting" Answer: Please click re-enter meeting Question: it is 2:00 PM - why are we still on hold and why has not started yet Answer: Here we go! Question: Will you be telling us that we can Sync public folders at some point soon or that I am just missing something?!? Answer: You can sync only Inbox subfolders. If you use Outlook to sync folders offline, you must check them specifically... it is no different with Pocket Outlook. From Messaging and Inbox for Outlook on 700w, Menu, Tools, Manage Folders. Expand Inbox and select what you want to sync. Question: Will the Treo 700w be made available to other Mobile carriers - especially GSM? If so, would that include EDGE or UMTS? Answer: Yes on GSM carriers. Can't comment on details. Question: what is MSFP Answer: I don't think we've stated a date, other that this year. Question: Question: when will be ROM upgrade with AKU 2.0 with push email released for Treo 700w ?

Answer: We are recording this session and will have the archive available for replay after the call. This will be posted on the Palm website. You will also recieve an email with the replay instructions. Thank you Question: When will this phone be available in Canada - both the Palm and Microsoft versions ? Answer: The 700w is Verizon Wireless exclusive through first half of 2006. We cannot guess at specific times other carriers would implement. Question: is this technology also available for lotus notes? Answer: Verizon Wireless provides Wireless Sync both in Individual/Workgroup and Server flavors. It works well with Lotus Notes 5.0.8 and above. Question: Activesync is always going up even though I did not have any sync initialized. After turning of this service in 15 minutes it is back on. Why? Answer: That is a feature of the Windows Mobile 5 operating system as provided by Microsoft. Question: we need the phone for our business division, will it function in europe? israel? Answer: The Verizon products run on the CDMA technology, which is pretty much USA only. The GSM technology is the "world" standard. We'll have Treos for that net later in the year. Question: Is the default security screen the same as on the Treo 650? Do you still risk emergency calls when entering a password? Answer: 700w uses the Microsoft Windows Mobile password application, not Palm OS. Feature is designed by Microsoft and you do not risk emergency calls, although Emergency means "911" Question: Unfortunately not a Verizon customer, what's the roadmap for Cingular (Edge/UMTS) Answer: Later this year. Question: I need synchrnization support to my Mac OS X system. I currently have that with the Palm OS Answer: Third-party sync application will be available soon in MissingSync from MarkSpace and an application called PocketMac. Support and availability is directy through those third-party companies. Question: why no flash on the digital camera? Answer: IT's a combo battery issue and functionality issue. We looked at it and chose not to put it in this time and instead really optimized the low light functionality of the camera. Question: How does Windows Mobile 5.0 differ from Windows Mobile 2003? Answer: Too many things to really list, plus we at Palm made a lot of changes on top of WinMob5 to make it easier. Our big things are how we made one-handed use even better, how you can dial by name from the today screen, and do web searc directly form teh today screen. Question: When will we see an integrated GAL lookup? Answer: IT will come with the MSFP update later in the year. Question: Can the device be ordered without camera or permanently(hardware) disabled?? Answer: Coming later in the year Question: Will my PPC application have to be certified in order to work on the 700W? Answer: Must be at least advertised by vendor to be Windows Mobile 5 (called 2005 occasionally) compliant. Question: Does dual band mean it can be used in Europe, too? Answer: No. Just more coverage in the usa Question: How much RAM memory is available? Answer: 64 megs Question: I have a Sprint cell act for 7 yrs, don't care to switch to Verizon.Any suggestions? Answer: Hang in there. Question: If I upgrade from a treo 600 or 650 to 700w, can I still use the accessories from the prior products such as chargers, usb cradle, etc? Answer: Yes for 650. Absolutely not for 600. Question: Why is the screen less resolution than the 650? Answer: It's a windows spec. 240 x 240 is the windows max Question: Why only 240X240? Answer: It's a windows limitation Question: Is it available without camera? Answer: Coming later in the year Question: Will 700 sync with ACT? both ways? Answer: If ACT, the company, provides a sync tool certified by them for Windows Mobile 5, sure. Please constact Act! Question: Any way to disable the camera permanently that will survive a hard-reset? Answer: Not natively. Question: Does this device support DUN (Dial-up Networking)? Answer: Not out of the box. Check www.junefabrics.com for a third party solution. Question: Will this support Good Technology push email system? Answer: Good is working on it. Question: what does dual band mean? Answer: More coverage in the USA Question: Why do programs remain running and it is necessary to manually shut them down using the "ok" button. Answer: This is how any Windows Mobile 5 Phone Edition device works. It is mandated by the operating system. Palm enabled the OK key so that if you press it for 2 seconds, it opens task manager to allow applications shut down Question: Is it possible for you to give us the capability to sync "NOTES" and "TASKS" with exchange server instead of a desktop computer Answer: Coming with the MSFP update later in the year. Question: how do I mute my phone during the call? Answer: On 700w, use the right action button to open menu. First entry is Speakerphone, and second is Mute. Question: Thought the Wi-Fi was disabled Answer: We do wifi via the SD card. Our SD WiFi card works and so do cards from Socket Question: Will there be a unit given away at the end? Does one have to be on the line to win? Answer: Yes, must be online to win Question: Can you install a VPN Client on this device? Answer: Windows Mobile has one built in and supports PPTP and IPSec. There are additional third-party VPN clients for specific corporate concentrators not directly supported by Microsoft WM5. Answer is Yes. Question: Will voice dial be availible on any Treo devices? Answer: It's part of the Windows Mobile 5 operating system, and as a third party app on the CD for the Treo 650's Question: can palm desktop or palm features be used on the 700? Answer: No. Palm Desktop is for Palm OS. ActiveSync is equivalent for 700w because it is a Microsoft OS device. The two do not interact or conflict. Question: Our's it a small company. How can this device help my company grow? Answer: If keeping in touch with peers and customers, making decisions faster, and being able to work from away from your desks can contribute to your business effectiveness, then out of the box we can help you. ANd if you have a need for a business pallication like real estate software, sales autoamation software, data collection software, etc. we can help even more.

Answer: What I do is carry a spare battery when I want to go longer between charges... joe Question: Is/will the 700w work with the BlackBerry enterprise servers ? Answer: We are looking at our options. Question: you need a wifi card to access internet? Answer: No. VZW has a data paln to let you get n the net wherever you can get a cell phone signal. Question: Does the Wif Fi card stick out on top or is it completely invisitble from the outside Answer: The antena... Question: Is the Wi-Fi card only available for use on the 700 or could it be used on the 650? Answer: 700w only Question: Any plans to release Windows Mobile 5.0 fro the Treo 650 Answer: No... we optimized the 700 for Windows Question: what about checking 2 different email accounts with wireless sync, but keeping the inboxes separate?

Answer: we'll have a GSM productrt later in the year Question: since this is already using bluetooth 1.2, does it support Advance Audio Distribution (A2DP) profile? Answer: No A2DP...but i really want it. Question: Does the device support remote synchronization with Exchange and Outlook? Answer: Yes. It is called Exchange ActiveSync.

I understand if you don't want to contact me in this forum, so please email me at ... (email removed) Answer: ... (email removed) Question: Will an SD card that I use on my Treo 650 work with the 700W? Answer: Yes, but must be formated in the 650 to work in both, else format to FAT32 for use only on 700w Question: Why no built in 802.11? Answer: It's mostly a bettery/size tradeoff Question: Some reviews have indicated a two day battery life, is that typical for the 700Ws? If so, are you planning a more powerful battery? Answer: We would say a 1 day battery lilfe if you really use the phone to call, email, do calendar, etc. Question: for Cingular later this year meaning may, july, december Answer: just later this year... Question: does windows mobile use any of the remaining 60mb flash memory? Answer: All Inbox, Calendar, etc data is stored in that storage space. Running applications do use the other 14MB of program space as they need it and to compete for that temporary resource Question: I'm a user of both HotSync and ActiveSync. ActiveSync has a way to go to catch to Hotsync. What are the plans to close the gap? Answer: Micorosft does Active Sync, and Access makes Hotsync, and I don't think they talk.... We just license the software from them... Question: Is the headset jack standard size for headset or is it a min plugi? Answer: It is 2.5MM not 3.5MM but Palm sells an adapter.

Answer: That's a VZW deal and I don't know the answer Question: For e-mail, will the phone be able to sync in real time through a VPN connection for remote telecommuters? Answer: VPN is usually not that "real time" unless you can maintain permanent VPN connection... which may not happen through a tunnel. Real time sync is what Exchange ActiveSync was invented for, Wireless Sync, GoodLink and others and the ultimate answer is YES, but not always if using a VPN. Question: what does the 700W do that my 650 can't? Answer: It runs windows applications. The network radio at EvDO speed is very fast Question: Is Palm desktop being used at all anymore? Is there any development continuing with Palm? Answer: Yes. We spun off the software company off two years (called PalmSource) and they do the developement Question: Is there a known battery life drainage? We have been testing but are having to charge more than once a day? Answer: 4.7 hours of voice call only life is the best available on a smartphone. If you have applications heavy on data usage, then the battery will not last 24 hours. Maybe not even a full 8. A second battery comes handy, or a car charger. You will not loose data.

EVDO maps, 1xRTT, and CDMA voice coverage maps are readily available on their web site. Question: Can I download the contact, tasks, memo, etc. that I have on my present Palm on here to start at where I am? Answer: Yes, but the answer relies on what you are synching to on your desktop. Or you could just Beam information or BlueTooth it directly form one to the other... Question: Does 700 have speaker phone cap? Answer: Not sure what you mean... Question: Does the Treo have Paging capability? Answer: It is not a pager. It does support SMS but message delivery is not as sure as a pager. Pagers use a different low speed network. This is a phone, not a pager. Question: Is there a single help desk to handle OS questions, 700 hardware issues and verizon connectivity? Answer: THe support strarts at Verizon Wireless and can get more granular from there Question: is it possible to remove the carrier info from the today screen. it takes alot of room Answer: sorry, no Question: How do you map the extra key on the side? Answer: Settings > Buttons Question: is it possible to uninstall "pre-installed" software that comes with my treo so i can save program memory Answer: sorry, no Question: Will it be released by other carriers in the future.

Question: why no flash on the camera Answer: we looked at it and it was a battery/effectiveness question. We optimized for low light instead Question: Any ides?? -- With WinXP, we can use GPOs to lock-down a standard installation. However, it does not appear possible to lock-down Windows Mobile 5.0 OS. Is there a way to limit its featureset, centrally push updates, or generally centrally control these devices in our company? Answer: With MSFP you can push policies from Exchange 2003 SP2 only for passwords and resets, certificate authorization and such. For high end imaging, solutions are available from GoodLink, Intellisync, iAnywhere (Afaria), etc. Question: is there a way to send and receive e-mail with picture and file attachments OTHER than verizon wireless sync? Answer: yes, use the Outlook client Question: One of the complaints I've seen brought up is that the (60mb) memory that's "user" available is not truly available, and the system runs low on memory resources relatively easily. Are there any plans to address this? Possibly via a more readily accessible resource manager? Answer: SD cards are very cheap and they directly extend that 60MB storage space. Installs apps to SD instead of device and ENJOY! Question: Does MSFP load onto 2003 Exchange or Palm 700w Answer: It will be available later in the year Question: Is there a cost for MSFP? Answer: Haven't said yet... Question: MSFP DirectPush - will this require the phone to be 'online' all the time? (i.e. cannot accept incoming or outgoing calls??) Answer: Over EVDO, calls will come in. Over 1xRTT (not in BroadBand coverage area) calls will go to voice mail if data is active. Data goes dormant within 10 seconds of last packet transmitted. Question: When will Treo have built in W-FI like they did for the TXn instead of SD card? Very inconvienient to lose your storage just to connect to WI-FI. TX did it right! Answer: WiFi adds size and impacts the battery, so we decided to let the SD card handle it. Question: Does the 700W work on a mac environment? Answer: Mark Space's MIssing Sync is coming soon Question: Will Direct Push be available for Palm OS Treo's? Answer: From third parties like Good Question: Can the 700w handle streaming video? Answer: Yes. MSN has some streaming content... Question: Can you sync to your desktop or laptop using the Wi-Fi card, is it faster then the regular hot sync cable? Answer: Hotsync cable is USB 2.0... WiFi is faster only occasionally and under perfect conditions. Question: Will the MSFP be released through Microsoft, Palm or Verizon? Answer: Look for it from us and VZW as it has to be optimized for their network Question: How hard are XL or Word files to view on the limited screen size Answer: It's OK for reviewing stuff, but for creating big files....I'd use the PC or Mac Question: Does the MSFP always on HTTP state drain the 700W battery? Answer: It's no different than without MSFP Question: I thought Motorola Q which is also A windows Product was able to use 320 x 240 resolution, will Palm be changing the 240 x 240 to 320 x240? Answer: No, we have found the size of the Treo to be one of the things that make people choose it over Blackberry and other fatter devices Question: we use good for email with the treo 700w does exchange active sync work just like good Answer: It can be close, and you may want to look at both and compare costs Question: Why is there a black border around the display reducing the viewable screen size? Answer: That sounds wrong. There should not be a black border Question: will MSFP be an "over the air" patch? Answer: No. It will be a desktop install via the cable Question: since Visto is suing Microsoft due to patent violation in email push, what can Microsoft say to assure owners of Treo 700w that their push e-mail service based on MSFP will not be all of a sudden endangered/stopped ? Private Answer: Microsoft stands behind its product offerings, and doesn't see any interruption of its service offering. We do not comment on pending legal issues. Question: i see your answer on the 64 MB RAM, but no review that I have seen (user or institutional) claims more than 32 MB. what are they missing? Answer: They are mixing Apples with Oranges. 700w has 128MB of NVFS storage and 32MB of SDRAM. The storage space is 64MB allocated to ROM OS image. 4 extra MB is taken by Operating System when running. 60 MB of Storage is available but extensible via SD Card. The 32MB of SDRAM is where programs execute. IE and Media Player reserve cache space here so 14.7MB is initially available. When you close apps, they do not really release the space until you FORCE them down by pressing OK two seconds and chosing Shutdown. A soft reset also clears all un-allocated cache. Question: Currently, WM 5.0 cannot successfully sync data with Novell Groupwise 6.5 Email Client using the latest version of ActiveSync (4.1). Do you foresee a solution to this in the near future? Answer: It would come from a third party like Intellisync, iAnyware, or Good Question: Will all the data in a Palm Tungsten T transfer if I purchase the Treo 700?? Answer: It depends on what you are synching to on the PC. If you use Outlook, then yes, easily. If you use the Palm Desktop, then you have to do and import/export, but it can work Question: Java VM available? What is available on the platform? Contacts? Network? Answer: This is a Microsoft OS... it is .NET savvy! Java is not .Net savvy. However, NSIcom has released a WM5 Java VM. Question: Does the Treo 700w bluetooth radio support stereo headsets? Answer: No. So far no one I know supports what's called A2DP protocol for bluetooth yet Question: It is advertised as 128MB. However, I see only 25MB for programs (11MB is always occupied) and 62MB for storage. Please, explain. Thanks Answer: because 64 MB is where the OS lives and executes... Question: Without the Wi-Fi card, will I be able to check my email while on a call? Answer: You can read what's in local storage, but you can't do sync while on the phone. Question: What happens when you are running GOOD and a person calls you.. I have sen this go to voice mail everytime Answer: The EvDO net should cut over to voice and then reestablish the data connection when you hang up Question: Will this device be upgradeable to the next version of Widows Mobile? Answer: The MSFP update we talked about is a field upgrade Question: Will the PDF viewer allow viewing PDF's "as is" or will it optimize for the small screen? Answer: Has to optimize or else you see one letter at a time. Does not work above 1MB files. Westtec ClearVue PDF basic offers solution (extra cost) for large files. Question: Where can I find the desktop sync software mentioned? Answer: www.windowsmobile.com - look for ActiveSync 4.1 Question: A comment for Microsoft: Better documentation would be nice. Exchange ActiveSync works just find without the MSFP works Answer: Yes. It is called Exchange ActiveSync. You require Exchange 2003 at a minimum. Exchange SP2 and MSFP (later this spring) for IP Push. Why would you consider the sync with an https connections any more of a push that the functionality right now using SMS text messages? Answer: It takes less overhead with the Direct Push Question: Does the 700w have Bluetooth A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) for wireless stereo headphones? Answer: No, but it does have a Bluetooth keyboard driver as well as headset support. Question: Can you use third party palm apps on the TREO?

Answer: Later in the year we'll have GSM 700ws Question: When will AKU 2.0 be available for the phone? Answer: later in the year. We call it MSFP. Question: it is my understanding that microsoft has released MSFP to oem and the operators are working to release devices with msfp...will palm be releasing a ROM for those that purchase before that release? Answer: Palm has indicated it is working on MSFP for the Treo device that is expected mid-year Question: Will the device support using Bluetooth to tether to my laptop for internet connectivity? Answer: Try PDAnet for 700w from junefabrics.com. Works over wire, not sure if BT yet. VZAccess Manager official support will be in MR2 offered by Palm in Q3Y06 Question: Are you saying that if I wanted to keep details about my work and personal schedules on the calendar, it would have to all be entered on the calendar in one big jumble?

Question: Wireless Sync through Verizon is there a MB Maximum like blackberry Web Client gives you 50MB Answer: Correct but over 7days max. 700w has 60MB max of total storage space so that should be pretty complementary. Question: for small companies without their own exchange servers, how would one set up the IP push for a company? are there 3rd party sources? Answer: One way is to find what is called a Hosted Server Company who can rent you spacce on their server... Question: With outlook messaging can you navigate to another folder without using the stylus? Answer: No because the drop-down is not accessible programatically at this time. Believe me... we tried!

Does locator svcs provide the same Federal standards for a reasonable expectation of privacy as a voice call? Answer: Qualcomm manufactures the chip. It is A-GPS not HSPGS (no satellites, just tower triangulation) over the 1800MHz frequency. Yes, voice privacy is guaranteed... if turned on (default) and also you can choose E911 only or Location on for A-GPS (E911 default) Question: Quit a while back you had a display saying Treo 700 give away, was the gift awarded, if so, how could hearing impaired know if it was done via voice?
