Just an FYI follow-up - some folks have had issues with the updater not completing and thus locking the phone. First thing, the Palm 700w HotLine # is: 866-697-7256.
This seems to be a fix that is working for a lot of folks. There's a text file in the C:\Program Files\palm\Treo700wUpdater\vers directory that you can edit and bump the version up. It's enough to trick the updater into thinking the upgrade version is one higher than it really is which allows the updater to start again after a failed attempt. Some folks have had to do this 3 times to get it to work, but ultimately, it does. For what it's worth - it worked fine on the first try for me. :-)
