Since we're sharing info... my cat coughed up a fur ball last night. Nasty looking thing.

Funny how you wouldn't even answer who you were.

Let's say I post that Ford will produce a new Thunderbird convertible tomorrow. I don't work for Ford or anything like that. I just felt like posting and sharing. Does that make my info valuable?

Fair enough. My best friend and I both work for Sprint. He deals with different vendors, such as HTC, on building apps for our different phones. His departments also tests ROMs from different manufactures like HTC. I've been bugging him for months to let me know when he heard of a date for the Mogul ROM. Today he sent me a message that HTC would be sending the ROM to them on the 29th. Then it SHOULD be approved for production and be posted on Sprints and HTC site on March 10th. This is what I got and like I said, things could change but he sounded confident.

HTC will be sending the ROM update to sprint? man outoff all 100 posts in this thread ur the only one who says this...every other post says sprint is building the ROM and will send it to HTC when finished...and when i emailed HTC they too told me that sprint is building the ROM and not HTC....i dont believe any post in this thread cuz there have been so many false release dates before...BUT...this one i must say seems the least credible to me...

I appreciate your response.

Now, assuming your information is accurate, there's something that bothers me here...

HTC is sending it to Sprint on the 29th... Sprint is tentatively schedule to release it on the 10th. If Sprint is QA'ing the ROM, that only gives them 10 days to test it??? Or has Sprint been testing the ROM all this time and now they are just waiting for a final RTM version from HTC?

I realize you probably don't have the answers to these questions, but if you could ask your friend it'd be greatly appreciated.

He mentioned that HTC would start shipping new Moguls sprint orders with the new ROM on the 29th. So I assumed that meant the ROM would be sent on the 29th. I don't know all the details since I don't work in that department. I would think HTC and Sprint have both worked on the ROM. I can't see Sprint making the drivers and such for the new ROM, but I'm sure they had a big part in the creation of it. I wish I had more details...sorry. You all are probably right, I should of kept this to myself. I honestly didn't get on here to stirr up trouble.
