As noted a couple of days ago, the Alltel Touch got a new ROM update that added EvDO Rev. A, fixed some BT issues and added video messaging.

But no aGPS.

And while Sprint and Verizon users wait for that coveted Rev A. update and WM 6.1, some enterprising users at PPCGeeks have gone ahead and not only added RevA to their Touch but GPS to boot (!).

Interested in taking the plunge to void your warranty and beat everyone to the punch? Then follow the links for the threads and be careful:

lol, I was yelling at my computer wondering what was happening :p
Does Rev A allow simultaneous voice and data sessions?
I believe that it does!
I believe that it does!

It does in theory but not in practice :o

It's evidently up to Sprint/Verizon to update their hardware/software on the towers to enable that feature, but it is unclear whether that will actually happen.
