so the radio that comes with it.... it is or isnt gps capable? How can we tell if its gps capable or not?

Also, you said its not wm 6.1 but it says right on the list of upgrades "Upgrades to Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional" So that to me would mean 6.1 I could be wrong. Since there isnt a telus rom update there I assume it SHOULD be there so we should find out as soon as they fix the link issue.

I emailed customer support since the phone number for canada didnt work and asked what the deal with the link was.... when it would be updated (I know updating a site can take some time) if they could email me the rom directly AND if this rom was GPS capable.

I broke the rom down, it's WM6

If OS isn't GPS, I highly highly highly doubt the radio is.

So if this isn't Wm6.1 and it doesnt have GPS what's the point of the update? I thought the whole purpose of WM 6.1 was fixing a bunch of little issues making the phone more stable. I have no idea how to break down the rom, just from what it says on the site (that being that its an upgrade to 6.1) and the Altell update page doesnt say anything about GPS I was hoping at least for something here.

I've been waiting for this telus update for a long long time. I dont want to flash my phone with an unofficial rom and brick the phone and void any warranty or anything haha.

I hope you are wrong about it being wm6... as far as gps goes it does say it has telus navigator but I think that uses AGPS, not too sure though.

Adds new shortcuts for easy access to TELUS mobile email, TELUS navigator and Pocket Express applications

if the upgrade mentions Telus Navigator wouldn't that mean gps or at leaat a-gps is enabled in this rom since that program needs gps to function.

Only one way to find out

What is the difference? Why the update? I'm with Bell and have downloaded and am thinking about updating. Is it not worth it then?

[Aaron McCarthy]

well now the update section is empty. The bell update is still up but no telus anymore. I guess it was easier for them to wipe the page clear as opposed to just fixing the link. Bastards

Update: Well now the page is back up... annnnd the wrong rom link is still there. Fantastic!

[PapaDocta]

htc people should stop smoking weed... mixing up updates and reporting wrong windows version!

I just tried to do the update and it failed with the message:

ERROR [294] : INVALID VENDOR ID

This update utility cannot be used for your PDA phone. Please check your update utility.

So although it was not branded in any way (Bell or Telus) it obviously is not the Telus ROM

The rom posted on the telus update page is the bell rom... which isnt Windows 6.1 or rev A etc. I can only assume that since all the information on the page refering to the new rom is correct so when the rom IS put up there it will be rev A, 6.1 and hopefully GPS (Telus Navigator)
