Sprint HTC Touch Official Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM hits early July

If the unofficial Sprint HTC Touch ROM has you hot and bothered, we have some good news on the Sprint front.  According to a post over at the Sprint Application Developer forum, the HTC Touch should see an official WM 6.1 ROM landing in early July, complete with GPS, EVDO Rev A and Windows Mobile 6.1. With the unofficial WM 6.1 ROM for the HTC Touch causing problems such as flaky GPS and call logs, some users have decided to revert back to the shipping ROM instead.  It looks like the official yet unofficial ROM ended up being a little less than perfect after all, but this is the price we pay for our tech addiction.

Sprint HTC Touch Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM Improvements:

  • GPS with Live Search
  • Threaded SMS via Windows Mobile 6.1
  • EVDO Rev A
  • QWERTY keyboard
  • Missed calls link on the homescreen
  • No “message sent” indicator after you send a text message
  • Clock updates faster
  • Microsoft OneNote now included as part of Office Suite
  • New Splash Screen
  • HTC Launcher includes 2 new icons for rotating the screen
  • New communications manager
  • Automatic BT pairing with headsets
  • No option to force phone into “Roam Only”
