Sprint Touch RevA and GPS ROM Update on March 18th?
March 12, 2008
The official update has been released… click this link to see the post.
UPDATE: for latest release date info go here.
Over at HTC Wiki someone claims to have called HTC and asked to talk to Tech Support. They claim to have been told the ROM update for the Sprint Touch (aka HTC Vogue) that updates the device for EVDO RevA and GPS will drop on March 18th. This isn’t an official announcement, but we can always hope that it’s true.
UPDATE: The March 18 release never happened, but Sprint has OFFICIALLY announced a Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM upgrade that will likely contain RevA and GPS. Read more about the announcement here.
UPDATE2: Tired of waiting on Sprint to release the ROM? Check it out, some PPCGeeks have gotten RevA and GPS to work on the Sprint Touch. Details here.

What I find SO confusing .. and WRONG.. is that
a0t0e0 | April 26, 2008What I find SO confusing .. and WRONG.. is that I purchased my HTC Touch based on the FACT that Sprint is still publishing! Go to sprintstore.sprint.com .. scroll down to HTC Touch… then click on the pic of the Touch.. then scroll down the features.. it clearly states that the HTC Touch is:
“GPS Enabled: View your approximate location and use available applications to navigate roadways throughout the country. (will not be available until Q1 2008 upgrade) ”
I am unable to return my phone b/c of this FALSE information.. and no one at sprint can tell me what the revised date for the upgrade… NOR have I even found anyone at sprint who was AWARE of this upgrade information being published… I usually here ‘How did you find this ?!?”
Frustrated Sprint Customer….
