The official update for the Sprint Touch has been released… click this link to see the post.

Well it FINALLY happened. HTC has dropped the 3rd ROM update for the Sprint Mogul and it includes EVDO RevA and GPS.

The details of the ROM update include

• Adds EV-DO Rev.A functionality for faster download and upload speeds when transmitting data wherever EV-DO Rev. A coverage is available.
• Adds advanced GPS functionality including the software for Sprint Navigation.
• Adds a Task Manager to the Today screen for easier access and management of Running Programs.
• Improves Bluetooth performance including usage with Phone As Modem and wireless stereo headsets.
• Corrects an issue where Windows Live Messenger content may be erased when the device power cycles.

The last Mogul ROM update was riddled with problems, so here’s to hoping they got it right this time. Oddly, there is no announcement for a Sprint Touch (aka HTC Vogue) enabling the same functionality. The Touch which sold over 2 million units last year uses the same chipset as the Mogul, hopefully we’ll see an update soon (it was after all announced GPS would be available end of Q1).

Okay, this one is for all you folks out there who own a Windows Mobile Pro device that doesn’t have the word “Treo” on the front (since those lucky ducks have it built in). Basically, this little trick from no2chem and stroths at PPCgeeks will change your default and lumpy 10% battery increments to the much more accurate and cool 1%.

So basically instead of going from 80% battery down to 70%, you can see your precious battery trickle away at 77%, 76%, etc. Very cool.

It works on my SprintTouch and I’ve read it works on the Mogul as well. It will probably other work on other WM devices. Since it’s a .cab installer, if there are any problems you should be able to just un-install under your Remove Programs area.
