Seen this at HTC Wiki, hummmm you think its a another rumor?

I spoke with a Sprint Rep today April 17th. He told me they are expecting an upgrade for the Touch BEFORE the end of the month which will include TelVav GPS. If you are on the everything plan there will be no extra charge for this.

So what ya think?

So I will post this here for us touch users with unlimited Internet. Call sprint, when the automated service asks you what you need help with, say cancel my account. You will get transferred to retentions, Tell them you have the vogue and you don't think its fair that your paying 25 dollars a month for a service when picture mail, telenav, video mail, and in my case sprint tv doesn't work. I did this and they gave me a 15 dollar credit to my account each month for the next 2 years. I now have sero 1000 min, unlimited Internet, tep, and unlimited 2-way text messaging for 55 bucks out the door

you might want to try this before the update is released

ugh... words out of a rep's mouth mean nothing. Just ask anyone who has been here long enough. They have NEVER been right-- they have no idea what they are talking about. If sprint was to send a message to all reps regarding the update of touch-- we would see it posted on internet within days if not hours.

There will be an upgrade to 6.1 I am sure... but forget about GPS... if the GPS in this phone would work someone would have a leak already working in their phone... and so far I have not found anyone!

It is a real shame, but I don't have much hope of having a built in GPS working...

About when... I am pretty sure not too soon... HTC has more important things to do, like selling new phones... creating new phones... etc... verizon just came out with the touch and if they come up with an upgrade people may think that the phone is so bad that they are already giving updates... I really think they will take a while to come with it...

Well... we can only wait and see...

I am getting really frustrated... when I got sprint I did it because of the free navigation included in the everything plan but ended up loving the phone for its size (I didn't know the phone did not have the GPS when I got it)... so I kept it, hoping that an upgrade with GPS would come up... but after almost a month reading and searching forums everywhere, I just lost all my hope...
but though the phone does need to be a little faster (my apache was way faster) and I hope it will be after an upgrade, I really like the size of it and there's nothing else out there that is so small and convenient...
