Initially the MR for my Palm Treo 700p went off without a problem ... a long install to be sure, but all went as it was suppose to ...although the maintenance release has been temporarily suspended. The disconnecting bluetooth issue which required a 'reset' is no long a problem, but fix is sometimes frustrating too. The headset loses connection, beeps three times (I have the Jawbone) and then reconnect automatically. (the screen comes on as well ... hmm, power drain) This can happen a dozen or so times a day so something tells me its not the best fix in the world.

Besides that, the phone has worked well although I can't say I've noticed any grand improvement in application switching speeds. Actually my Versamail email is acting disturbingly slow ... something isn't right.

 As for Slingplayer on the Palm, its not as solid of a connection as I've had before. I'm not sure if it has more to do with the location and busy Sprint towers or my newly updated Treo to the Version 1.10-SPNT release? 

I did have an unusual crash yesterday not related to Sling and posted it here. If anybody else has positive or negative experiences using Sling after the MR ... post them here.  (are we nearing the end of Beta ... or will there be a new release noticing that there are only 4 days on mine as of June 8th. I expect that an official release would be after Sprint and Verison get the MR sorted out???) Thanks.

The SlingPlayer Mobile release cycle isn't tied to the 700p MR schedule. Based on our testing we believe we're solid pre- and post-MR.

I can also say we've been squashing bugs and enhancing the software behind the scenes and should have something to share in the near future...

IMHO ... Palm needs to take lessons from you guys. The Slingplayer for Palm Beta has been a supersolid release and done in a way that used enough testers (and enough time) to get it right. Very well done.
