Palm's updated WebOS firmware, version 1.4.5, has now made it to three countries in Europe, via O2 in Germany, France and the UK.
However, there appears to be a bug in the software that causes the "media/internal drive to be marked as read-only for PDK applications," says MobileBurn.
Despite the bug, Palm will continue a full European rollout of the update.
1.4.5 is expected to hit Bell in Canada in the upcoming weeks, also, while American fans are still waiting.
Says Palm, of the bug: "We've spent the last week attempting to address this issue in a way that would not require restarting the carrier certification process, but we've concluded that this is not possible. Restarting certification would delay 1.4.5 substantially and could result in some wireless operators not taking the update at all."
In late April, HP announced it was purchasing the struggling smartphone maker Palm for $1.2 billion, including all patents, licenses, and the rights to WebOS.
