 Yipeeee! That’s all I can say, Yippeeee. Thanks to JIMpsED in our forums for letting us know!!!

UPDATE:
I am going to keep working on this, but it seems that this upgrade is only available at this time for Vodaphone versions of the Palm Treo 750, The Treo 750v. 

The title of the updater lead me to believe that it would work on my Cingular Based Treo as well since the naked 750 model was in the title. Oh well, I am sure the update will work on the Cingular version, but Palm is requesting a serial number to perform the download of the upgrade and it’s not taking my serial number. These are the download choices currently…

2. Select the ‘System tab’. Tap ‘About’, and select the ‘Phone’ tab.
3. Look at the Software Version. What do you see?

If you see a Software Version that is LESS THAN TREO750-2.18-XXX,

YES, you should install this update.

Note: Devices with software versions equal to or higher than that stated above need not take this update. In the Software Version string referenced above, the version number (shown in red) is the signifier to tell whether or not your device needs this update.
Once you have updated your device, your smartphone will show TREO750-2.18-XXX (Note: “XXX” refers to a code for your specific carrier).

Before you start:

Do not stop the update before it is finished. Like any important software update for computing devices it is possible for your device to become unusable if the update process is interrupted during a critical phase.
Running applications or browsing the Internet on the desktop PC during the update is not advised. Ensure that ActiveSync is not currently synchronising or running in the background prior to executing the Treo update. These activities may interfere with the updater process.
