Alltel and HTC to release Windows Mobile 6.1 with GPS

[bigcheese0001]

Way ahead of you, I already put on my headdress and brought out my drums. Now I just need to find my lucky feather.

Oh, It might also help to call 1-800-alltel1 and get tech support. Then ask for advanced tech support(no one else seems to be able to help). If we bug them enough maybe they will get on it.

Couldn't find the feather and now htc is saying alltel is full of bs. They haven't heard anything about it and after another wild goose chase is seems we are doomed to wait it out and we still have no clear answers on how long. I wish alltel would get their sh!t together. Please join me in wasting their time as they have wasted ours and continue to call.

I apologize if i am overposting but I am trying to share all the information I have. Links to monitor for update(different sites that different techs told me to check out, another sign of the consistancy we have come to expect):

For those of you wondering why some of us are excited and/or waiting for this update, this update is not just about the GPS.

It is about GPS to a degree, but let's not forget threaded SMS (no good 6.0 solutions), a ROM for alltel that provides great MMS (no solution for 6.1 that I know of), and just all around improvements.

I've done the mods and all to my phone, but after all these additions and tweaks to get around alltel in order to get a better experience, I come to find myself back on 6.0 because the 6.1 ROMs, while great in their own right, just didn't seem to be as functional for me.

That's why I am excited, and venture to say others as well. I just wish Alltel and HTC would supply some info on this release, I think they at could atleast do that to ease the wait.
