At the end of January, Palm's U.S. site posted a software update for the unlocked version of the Treo 680. Palm Europe is now offering a similar ROM upgrade.

In addition to a number of new improvements and enhancements, the updater includes three software updates released last year for the Treo 680: one addressing the camera, another security, and the third SMS messaging.

Here's what's new:

Receive Corporate e-mail as it arrives � Have your corporate e-mail delivered to you with Microsoft� Direct Push Technology. Accept or decline meeting invites and access your company directory on the go.

Power saving enhancements� Helps conserve battery life with improved power management and updated default system power preferences.

Support for larger expansion cards � Can now read 4GB SD expansion cards (including the SDHC format).

Enhanced ringtones � 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).

You can download the upgrade here. As with any ROM update, follow Palm's instructions very closely and make sure everything on your Treo is backed up before you proceed.
