First we heard it would be the first part of July, then we saw an unofficially official leak of the ROM, now we have the 6.1 ROM itself, available for download at HTC, here.

JayTV wrote in to give us the heads-up and adds that the file is the “Same filename as last week's DCD leak, except a _2 rev on the ROM, and slightly smaller.” Otherwise HTC lists the benefits of the ROM thusly:

  1. Upgrades the operating system from Windows Mobile® 6.0 Professional to Windows Mobile® 6.1 Professional
  2. EV-DO Rev. A functionality for faster download and upload speeds when utilizing data services wherever EV-DO Rev. A coverage is available.
  3. Advanced GPS functionality including the Sprint Navigation application.
  4. Adds the Opera browser.
  5. Adds a full Qwerty on-screen key Qwerty keyboard.

Updates 4 and 5 were news to me, but that might just be because the Touch isn't my daily driver. Anybody tried it yet? How's it going?

Thanks, JayTV!

Found a link to the ROM at ppcgeeks.com since it appears HTC took it down. Works well, GPS and Rev A EVDO is amazingly fast.

Turns out this is the same revision that was leaked and known as the "July 4th" Rom. The screen shots on the HTC site match the July 4th exactly, ROM version, date, radio and Protocol version.

I've been runinning it a couple of weeks. Works great.
