Is there going to be an update soon?
 

I want to get the touch but i've been hearing the word about the phonw not waking up when you get a call or text message. Is there any rom updates or such coming soon for this phone?

If not.... i'm gonna have to get the centro. That, I do not want to do. I've played with the touch far to long.

Any info?

Thanks

Get the Centro. There is a problem with the phone not waking up, and there is no indication of a update coming in the near future.

There are rumors of a REV-A/AGPS update about the same time as the mogul updates (aka, never if sprint does the same old same old) But as far as I've seen the issues with the waking up stuff are not massively widespread, and I can't say I've even ever seen the problem on my Mogul, (which some owners complained about in the past too).

Id say get the touch, Unless you can stand the Palm OS... (I know that personally Id shoot myself using one after how much time I've spent coming to know and love the infinite tweaking abilities of WM5/6)

if you're worried about the phone not waking up from sleep, the problem seems to have decreased greatly from how bad it was in the mogul...

The update for the Touch is Q2 2008, not Q1. Mogul gets it first.

Good advice. I've heard end of June for the update and that's probably optimistic.

Figures that they are already pushing this update back again. :(

There have been some postings on here the point to GPS being available on the Touch in 1Q 2008. It was from a document on Sprint's business site. I don't think they could make GPS available without a ROM update so it should be coming 1Q 2008 (HOPEFULLY!!!).

I've never had mine not wake up. Centro is ugly...but cheaper at least.

I bought my wife the black Centro and it's nice......gotta like the keypad.
