WiFi on the Treo 680: Surprise, Surprise!

Who says that the Treo 680 doesn't have WiFi? Well, OK, it doesn't, but you can add it! I just got my Copper 680 this morning (shortly thereafter I unceremoniously dropped and dented it, but that's another issue), popped the latest beta of the Enfora WiFi Manager on to it, attached my Enfora WiFi Sled, and ALAKAZAM!

WiFi!

As the sled was designed for the 650, there are a few gaps, plus it doesn't lock on to the 680 as it does with the replacement battery cover for the 650. When I tried the sled with the 700p earlier this year, I had to take off the battery cover before putting it in the sled. With the 680's slightly slimmer profile, this is not necessary at all. Handy!

Sure, it's not perfect, but hey, I might just be holding the only Treo 680 in Canada with WiFi right now, and THAT'S cool.

Hi! I was wondering if you still had your Enfora WiFi Sled for you Palm Treo 650. If you did, and it's still working, would you consider selling it to me? I just got a Palm, and I want to be able to use it with WiFi.
Thanks! My email is: alhoffma@gmail.com
