Leaking the 3.16 Rom was a great idea, intentional or not. You can bet Sprint was monitoring this and other sites and taking notes. Lets just hope they implement changes as necessary.

Funny how they wont support the new Rom but will gladly sell us Sprint Navigation (even though we dont 'officially' have GPS). You have to wonder if they leaked the Rom with the SprintNav to see how many people would subscribe.

Remember that ulimately it is SALES that drives Sprint... not keeping existing users happy (note how many Touch users jumped from Mogul yet still stayed with Sprint?). I'd be more inclined to believe we will see a new PPC device before the Rom update is 'officially' released.

More and More likely every day. Just look at the 6600.

Rather handy contact. If so it should hit training end of this week or over the weekend. Should pop up at least a day before.

I personally think the reason that it has not been released is because they cannot lock it. There are certain execs at Sprint that are dead focused to making as much as possible on every feature regardless of the competition (Cough John Garcia Cough) they are stupid and should be canned (hence the reason my true identity is not given). This is stupid. Make the money on the data plan and let the user get his own free gps. Most business and non savvy users will still pay for it from the sprint app store anyways, it is just the real techies that will find the free apps.
