Yes, it was supposed to be released at the same time, but for some reason it has been delayed. From what I hear, it should be out by next week.

that's just great :) any clue of the rom version???

[Guest hyedipin]

What do think they are supposed to fix with new F/W ?

[Guest adamos168]

finally! a new rom! :)

Does that mean it's actually out now, or are you just excited at the fact that it *supposedly* will be soon?

I only ask because I'm watching this topic and am really anxious to try a new ROM. I'm using the stock SDA ROM and am hoping a new one will fix some of the annoyances I have...

i was just excited that they didn't abandon us sda users :)

I predict (hopefully incorrectly) that we'll see 1 ROM update for the SDA, and that'll be it. Newer ROM's might be had from iMate, etc -- but they're not T-Mobile service (towers) specific. My main reason for downgrading back to the T-Mobile ROM from the newer iMate one: there's a lot less of that 'searching' message going on -- it finds a T-Mobile connection faster and holds it stronger. Liked all the improvements in the iMate ROM, but hated the constant 'searching...' for a signal. So... like the new ROM when it comes out, I don't think they'll be spewing out others...

Not sure if it'll be the same for the SDA, but, when the MDA update came out -- msmobiles.com posted a link to the file located at t-mobile.com -- while you could get the file via that link, it didn't appear on the T-Mobile support page for the MDA until a few days later. It wasn't until a week had passed that the file appeared at the america.htc.com site, which was actually a link to the t-mobile support site.

So... watch msmobiles.com -- they seem to have the file links first.

Still waiting... any news...?

I heard from a different source that they're not going to bother with an SDA update, since the SDA was a flop for T-Mobile.

You should get a reliable source, especially if you're going to quote them. I doubt that's the case at all, sounds more like something you made up :rolleyes:

Did I ever quote anybody? I just post the info that I get from people... If I was quoting them, there would be quotes around it, and a citation.

T-Mobile is a company that likes to change their mind a thousand times during a project. In fact, both of the things that I said were probably true, at the time that I said them. As someone who worked directly with (and across) from the engineering project managers at tmo for somewhere around 6 years, I know pretty well how things operate :) However, as I no longer work there, I can only rely on third party information.

For information that I know to be 100% true (few and far between with them) I will say that. If it's not guaranteed accurate, I won't claim that it is.

Better than nothing, right?

In any case, feel free to believe me or not. It doesn't matter much to me either way :(

Just wishful thinking... If I had to guess, I'd say there would be 1 ROM update, but no more. Sounds like you're in a much better position to make a guess though.
