HTC is starting off the year with some pretty freakin’ awesome deals.

There are three devices that will qualify for this offer: the T-Mobile Shadow, HTC Touch Pro2, and the T-Mobile Dash 3G. Both new customers and existing customers can take advantage and the offer is quite simple with no surprising strings attached. All you have to do is upgrade/add a new line, or activate a new account (between January 20th and March 23rd 2010) and take advantage of the rewards/discounts. Limit 1 reward/discount per HTC phone per month. Hit the jump for all the details and a run down of all the rewards/discounts for each month! Not bad HTC, not bad at all. Nokia, where you at?

In a change of pace, something is actually released early, kind of.  The last we heard, the official T-Mobile release of Windows Mobile 6.5 would be on January 20th (along with a laundry list of other happenings).  It seems, though, that the link for the direct download has been leaked.  This update is for the Dash 3G and Touch Pro 2.  Just head on over to the link, enter in your IMEI, wait, and presto, WM 6.5 just in time for the WM 6.6 or 7 to be announced. So head on over and get your fresh upgrade.  Leave your thoughts and experiences in the comments, or discuss it in the Forums!

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

I’ve been working on this for a few days now, ever since the very same tipster who has been passing this around brought it to my attention via this xda-developer thread. Apparently, a ROM has surfaced and with the above picture as evidence, offers proof that the HTC Touch Pro2 is headed to our beloved magenta. Now I have to ask and wonder if this is a variant of, or a separate device from the Rhodium, AKA Tungsten which we already believe is headed to T-mobile sometime this summer.

The guys over at Pocketnow have kindly explained that the part circled in red, with a focus on “T-MOB010″ is identification for T-mobile and its country code. Also, on the following line, the language is identified as “USA” giving further credence to the theory that this is heading to T-mobile sometime in the future. 

Now, I’m usually one to remain skeptical about things like this, especially since I understand ROM’s about as much as I understand the Large Hadron Collider. That being said, perhaps some of the Wing aficionados familiar with ROM’s and their inner workings would like to take a stab at this xda-developer thread and see if they n make any more sense out of the above picture. 

Head over to AllShadow for a run down on specs for the Touch Pro2.
