Treo 750v HSDPA Hack Posted

"I like a number of you have tried to get the HSDPA working on the Treo 750v. I believe I have stumbled into the solution. First, go to a German site called fit4communication anytime... Down load a program called "fit4cat Hermes Tweaker" (Windows loader version is what I used). Unzip the file and install it to your Treo 750v."
It has been widely reported that Palm did not enable HSDPA in the initial (Orange) release of the 750v, and that a forthcoming update will enable it. (It has also been rumored that the Cingular version will ship with HSDPA enabled.) In the meantime, a TreoCentral reader has found a way to enable HSDPA. Just to be clear: such hacks are used at your own risk. I'm not quite sure why Palm didn't enable HSDPA out of the box, but perhaps the radio stack isn't quite stable yet?
