My contact at Alltel says Wednesday of next week (10/8 ) for release of 6.1 for Alltel.

Alltel does have a more rigorous process for testing the software, plus keep in mind that they also has about a 1/3 of the employees of Verizon. Less people to do the testing.

10/8 hopefully they are correct. Wonder if it will be better then the ROM that I am using.

I have Alltel and have been running a DCD rom with GPS seems like forever...recently started using NueRom3 and I can't understand why anybody would want to use a stock ROM with all the bloatware and crap on it. The custom roms are soooo much better...I doubt even a radio 'upgrade' from Alltel would be much improvement over whats out there. Shadow-tech's tweaks for aGPS is phenomenal...this device is darn near perfect now with NueRom3...too bad it isn't like this outta the box!

I have been following this site, calling alltel, and htc for a while. As of today htc claims alltel got the ppc6800 6.1 rom update yesterday. Two Alltel reps told me they thought it was out yesterday but as of yet noone can find the download link. Maybe if some more people call they will get on posting it sooner.

I called an Alltel rep yesterday- "tech support" (if that can really be a justified title), and I asked her about the 6.1 upgrade- she told me to please hold.

A few minutes later she says: "My tech guy said that all you have to do is a "Google search" for the update...."

I was so fustrated by this silly answer, that I just hung up on her. God forgive me, but 'come on Alltel!!

Alltel advanced technical sent me this link. Software update button finally showing up which probally means the update probally in the process of posting as I write this. I am crossing my fingers that this is not another false hope. http://www.htc.com/us/SupportDownloa...?p_id=63&cat=2
