Windows Mobile Louisville

I am a Sprint Mogul owner, like a lot of us in the Windows Mobile Louisville group. Ever since I bought the device last September, I’d been hearing that the Mogul had a built-in GPS chip, and was eager to find out if and when it was going to be used.  In November 2007, HTC posted on their website that it really did have a GPS chip, and that we should see a new ROM for the Mogul in Q1 of 2008.

“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. Please bookmark this page for easy reference.”

Q1 ends in less than three weeks and we still haven’t seen hide or hair of a ROM from Sprint or HTC.  We have seen an unofficial leaked ROM that enabled the GPS chip and also gave the Mogul Rev A.  Since then, there’ve been lots of rumors of when the real ROM will be released.  This post on PPCGeeks claims that the official ROM (3.35.651.2) will be released on the HTC site on Monday March 10th.  By all appearances, the post looks and sounds very plausible and has a lot of info that seems to make sense to me, so I am sitting here with my fingers crossed hoping it really is true and Monday I will have a Mogul with working GPS and Rev A speeds! - Ian
