windows-mobile-logo Well now, Sprint has been busy on ROMS lately. Even though this one appears to be official, it’s being leaked out by XDA Developers again, kind of like the Mogul ROM the other day…

Sprint’s just churning out Windows Mobile 6.1 as fast as they can, it seems. Yesterday we saw a new Mogul ROM surface, and today, the Touch gets the same update. Users are reporting a quicker GPS fix and overall improved stability over previous custom ROMs. Since this is an official Sprint ROM, there is no need to unlock your device or worry about bricking it, but it also means it will only work on Sprint devices. Head over to XDA, download the .exe, connect your device and run it!

An Update from Engadget :

Whoa there, just a word of warning — Sprint has reached out to us to let us know that this is actually not an official update, and it "does not support unauthorized or beta software updates for its devices." xda-developers often does good work, but just be careful with this one and make sure you understand that Sprint won’t be bailing you out if you get yourself up a creek with this one!

Eh, scratch that Official part… Use at your own risk!

    The Android port is interesting, bu not quite ready for prime time (I'm running it now, sometimes). You will need to be running Windows Mobile 6.1 if you want to install Android.
  • Why settle for Windows Mobile 6.1 when you can have that and Google's new Android running? A developer has been able to get Android running on the Touch and most of the features required by a phone are there.
