So you bought the popular HTC Touch Pro 2 but are having problems living with Windows Mobile 6.1.  Well, we may just have a cure.  If you happened to be stalking around the forums (they are the happiest place on Earth, but you knew that) around 1 Eastern you may have noticed an unofficial update to the WM6.5 ROM, with HTC’s Sense UI and T-Mobile USA features (like My Faves), that could be downloaded.  Well, the should be famous T1 Connect went ahead and tried it himself, and it works.  Unfortunately, the original download link no longer has the file.  Don’t worry though, because T1 has you covered there as well.  If you shoot him a Personal Message in the forums, I’m sure he will be more than happy to send you the ROM for the TP2 and the Dash 3G.  Now, if you are worried about this somewhat shady download and update process, then just hold tight because we are hearing that the official update will be coming around the 20th of January.  Leave your love in the comments!

TmoNews Forums, with a lot of thanks to T1 Connect, oh, and everything is originally from the T-mobile Forums

And now, a brief message and some photos from the friendly T1 Connect after the break.

Update: Direct download links added.  Thanks again T1 Connect

With Android, Blackberry and the iPhone getting all the attention lately it’s easy to forget Windows Mobile who paved the way for most of what we see today in the smartphone world. Originally our sources had pointed to a January 6^th release date for Windows Mobile 6.5 for both the Touch Pro2 and Dash 3G. An email this afternoon indicates that we could be looking at a 2-3 week release date delay. Unfortunately our source can’t nail it down so at this point; we’re going back to square one until we can get some concrete info on a drop date. Sorry Windows Mobile fans, we’re not forgetting about you as the HTC HD2 looms large and frankly, I can’t wait to get my hands on that sucker. Can’t wait indeed.

The good news is that this isn’t the 400th article this month talking about a potential Sprint/T-Mobile merger. The better news is that this rumor has a stronger chance of coming true than a Sprint/T-Mobile merger. One of my trusty ninjas hit me up tonight with information claiming that a Windows Mobile 6.5 update will see the light of day for the TouchPro2 and Dash 3G beginning January 6th, 2010. No other info was offered up with this date, though I assume it’ll be a pretty straight forward and available from T-Mobile.com. More details will be posted as we work to confirm this date, that while unconfirmed looks to be pretty solid.
