Sprint has removed it because they are launching the PPC-6800 shortly. However, complaints from existing customers have pressured UTStarcom into demanding the update from HTC, and ensuring its release.
That is the reason it's getting updated, and I want to thank all the informed folks in the Windows Mobile user community for keeping that pressure on. We put the pressure publicly (and have poured it on big time on AKU 3 for the PPC-6700), but it was the release of AKU 3 hacked copies that forced UTStarcom to admit there was no reason the device could not be updated officially.
