Sprint and HTC to give Sprint Mogul owners a late Christmas present - GPS and EV-DO Rev. A

Thu, 22 Nov 2007 01:53:25 +0000

Have any of you Sprint Mogul owners out there wished for GPS and EVDO Rev. A in your HTC-sourced handset? You know, the features that your Sprint Mogul handset already has built into it, but were disabled for some crazy reason? Well, it looks like Sprint and HTC are working on a new ROM update that will enable the GPS and EVDO Rev. A hardware that’s been waiting patiently inside your Sprint Mogul, hoping to one day see some action. That recent ROM update that HTC released for the Sprint Mogul had apparently caused more problems than it fixed. Actually, Sprint’s recommending that anyone experiencing ROM-update troubles should downgrade to the previous ROM version - not exactly an elegant solution, but it should hold you over until a fix is issued by month’s end. And, to make it up to Sprint Mogul owners, Sprint has promised to break the GPS and EVDO Rev. A radios out of their shells and give them a chance to stretch their legs. Actually, it’s HTC that’s cooking up the GPS and Rev. A-enabling WinMo6 ROM, but who cares where it’s coming from as long as it gets here (or there, whatever). Look for the new WinMo ROM from HTC in early Q1 2008 - just in time to be late for Christmas. Here’s the verbiage from Sprint: Additionally, HTC is currently developing a separate ROM update which enables the EV-DO Rev. A and GPS capabilities that are already built into the Mogul hardware. Sprint and HTC plan to make this software ROM available in early 1Q 2008. We would also like to extend our thanks to those customers that have taken the time to identify and report these issues to us. We’re not to broken up over the Sprint Mogul’s lack of GPS and EVDO Rev. A (our AT&T Tilt keeps us plenty happy), but we’re sure all you Sprint Mogul owners out there are jumping for joy right about…now. Go ahead, jump away, no one can see you. Stay tuned, we’ll let you know the second that new ROM is made available.

HTC Touch gets updated with more memory, new colors - Immaculate White and Burgandy Red

Thu, 08 Nov 2007 20:16:39 +0000

The consensus on the HTC Touch is that it’s a great little device that gives the iPhone a brisk run for its money (or, rather, market share). The consensus also seems to be that the HTC Touch doesn’t have enough memory to work as smoothly and conveniently as it could. Well, it seems HTC’s on top of it. The Taiwanese-based company has just announced that they will be releasing an HTC Touch with enhanced memory specs in Hong Kong. The new HTC Touch Enhanced will rock 128MB RAM and 256MB ROM to combat the out-of-memory blues. And, to kick off the increased memory of the HTC Touch Enhanced, HTC will be offering two new colors - Immaculate White and Burgandy Red - to supplement the Wasabi Green and Elegant Black color choices already on the table. There’s no mention of the HTC Enhanced rocking the updated TouchFLO interface that we saw in the HTC Touch Dual. Anyone have any info on whether the HTC Touch Enhanced will include the Touch Dual’s enhanced TouchFLO?

AT&T to update Palm Treo 750 to Windows Mobile 6.0 soon?

Thu, 08 Nov 2007 19:25:38 +0000

Well, AT&T’s missed it before , and they’ve missed it again. But, could AT&T be on track to release the incredibly sought-after and highly-anticipated Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional upgrade this week (or soon, at least)? The update was rumored for a release earlier this week, but apparently went back into hiding when AT&T noticed bugs in the update. If the bugs were anything less than system-critical, we’d imagine that AT&T could make the necessary fixes and finally get that update out to eager AT&T-branded Treo 750 owner. We know, we know. The pain must be unbearable at this point. Why not just go and grab that leaked WM6 ROM and rub it in AT&T’s face? Or, on second thought, it’s probably best not to tell AT&T about your ill-gotten Palm Treo 750 WinMo6 ROM.
