Treo 680 Update 2.11 For AT&T-Cingular
Following the Treo 750 WM6 Update last week Palm has now finally also announced the release of its much anticipated AT&T/Cingular Treo 680 Update which delivers quite a few rather meaningful improvements including PTT, IM (like that offered on the Palm Centro) as well as SDHC memory card support.
Push to Talk - Use your Treo 680 like a walkie-talkie to talk to one person or a group of up to 29. A quick glance shows whether family, friends, and coworkers are available to talk before you call.
Corporate email as it arrives - Have your corporate email delivered to you with Microsoft Direct Push Technology. Accept or decline meeting invites and access your company directory on the go.
Instant Messaging - Access your AOL, Windows Live Messenger, or Yahoo! IM service.
Easy access to additional services - Set up easy access to extra services such as TeleNav GPS Navigator and MobiTV for watching live TV.
Power saving enhancements - Helps conserve battery life with improved power management and updated default system power preferences.
Supports larger expansion cards - Support up to 4 GB SD expansion cards (including SDHC format), sold separately.
Enhanced ringtone support - MP3 and other sound files purchased from the web or sent from friends can now be set as ringtones and alerts (formats: MP3, AAC, AAC+, MIDI, WAV, and AMR).
Cingular, now the new AT&T - Updated graphics reflect the new AT&T branding, including a new look for the Xpress Mail application.
Three updates in one - This update also incorporates three previously released software updates: AT&T/Cingular Treo 680 Software update 1.09 (May 2007), Daylight Saving Time update (February 2007) and Treo 680 Camera update (January 2007).
A nice touch from Palm is also that after the update you are eligible for a promotional copy of Astraware Sudoku. Simply follow the update instructions to learn more.
Finally, the unlocked GSM Treo 680 software update will also be available soon. Palm is offering a service that will send registered users an email informing them when the update is available. To register, go here to sign up.

Comments
All I had to do was remove Express Mail which I wasn't really using anyway and my 680 is running normally again. The battery meter has been an issue since the Treo 680 first came out. (My biggest complaint with the model is the shorter battery life and it's inability to even know what is left.)
Other than that, all my apllications ran after the 2.11 update - Pocket Tunes, Mobipocket, games, etc., etc. I do know that if you are really stuck after getting rid of Express mail the best fix is to hotsync, backup the calendar, contacts, etc. put them in a new profile and sync to that. The install one app at a time - I highly recommend an uninstall manager. Mine let me rip Express Mail right off the system.
We all know that any computer needs a fresh install at some point - PC, Mac, even in some cases Linux. So why is it so strange to expect that some people after a major update would need to start fresh? There is even a warning before the update that 3rd party applications may cause problems.
