No point of an official Rev A.

[bonabob]

I know there has a been a few threads on this..

But I would like to comment about this subject.. I am absolutely loving this new Rev A. with JD's Rom..

GPS is flawless, I use Telenav and used the ATT tilts version.. Works awesome!
The entire options with windows 6.1 is great.. The phone is stable and it seemed to work out a lot of bugs I had before..


That said, I feel if sprint released their version of the Rev A. I would have NO POINT to get it. Is this how I should be thinking? I mean what's the point of an official Rev A. if this one works flawless?
Thanks

well, an official release is probably still needed.

The titan was the same way, and when the officil rom came out, the GPS worked a thousand times better.

The same will go for the touch.

What will happen, is when the official rom comes out, it will make for more stable cooked rom's.

I agree with you, but an official release will only make things better for the unofficial cooked roms, which in turn means more happy ppcgeekerz

its very hit and miss, ive only got gps to work once and ive been thru 2 radios, and 3 roms. so some people have great results and some others have poor results.

The same exact thing happened on the titan, then the official release came along, and out ,and now pretty much every mogul user has reliable GPS

Eh, using OMJ's rom, everything is working fine. I miss my Sprint TV, but have a Cab around here for that somewhere.

Let's not forget that you won't get any support with a non-official ROM. That reason alone is why, when practical, you should run the latest and greatest ROM from the carrier.*

*Of course, this is completely reliant on the carrier/mfr to provide the userbase with a stable, feature-rich device ROM, which frankly could be the first of Neveruary with Sprint.

Correct, with the leaked gps rom 3.16 the titan didnt always lock onto satelites quickly and sometimes wouldnt even connect if you were standing outside on a clear cloudless day.... now that they rolled out the official gps/rev a i can lock on to sats in about 5 seconds, and now it also works even inside my house with pinpoint precision! it's always worth looking into when an upgrade is offered because each revision gets rid of bugs and adds more functionality.

i still dont think they'll release an official radio and rom update.

doesnt sprint make money off of their little sprint nav crap?
and i dont think their network is efficient enough right now for a mass rev a upgrade for any of their phones.
