palmOne releases update for the Sprint Treo 600

There's a ROM update for the Sprint version of the Treo 600. I'm in the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" camp and my Treo 600 has been working just fine so I was going to take a pass on this. But Sprint sent an SMS message today indicating that they were upgrading their network and installing the update was required. Oh well. The update flashes the ROM and does a hard reset. I ran the installer, followed the directions and in less than 10 minutes was running fine again. I backed up to a SD card first using BackupMan and restored after the update. The main feature of this update, besides bug fixes, is that Sprint now supports normal, regular SMS text messaging.
