yeah, excellent Palm, I have it too, and I'm using it.

Solution is to send to Palm for repair... why? There is something wrong
in the OS, I read in internet. In some machines the internal MAC-address
(the unique machine ID) was changed (I don't know the circumstances) and
a user is not able to make it running again.

Read what European/German Palm support answered to an email from me
(translated by Babelfish and myself from German to English, hope
understandable):

No, I don't have sent T|C up to now because still in use. Meanwhile have
bought Treo 680 though no WiFi but not yet transferred all programs and
data... For Treo I bought a cheap prepaid card including data access, so
WiFi not much missing.

And I have not yet hard resetted T|C, because it is running... never
change a running sytem ;-) Backup I am doing on SD-card.
