Alltel’s HTC Touch Gets Updated; EVDO Rev. A and More
Congratulations Alltel customers. If you’re lucky enough to spend most of your time within Alltel’s coverage area, you now have access to the first HTC Touch variant to be graced with EVDO Rev. A. A new ROM, 3.04.671.2, has just been issued by HTC that brings with it several fixes and enhancements. Most notable of course, is the addition of high-speed EVDO Rev. A support thanks to a new radio version. The new firmware also fixes some Bluetooth issues along with adding the capability to receive video messages. For the time being, the new ROM is for Alltel customers only but we expect HTC to follow suit with Verizon and Sprint soon enough. In the meantime, try not to resort to violence in the event that some cocky Alltel customer starts shoving high-speed downloads in your face.

Why not visit ppcgeeks.com or xda-developers.com and use the tools to put this rom on your Sprint/VZW touch? I just put the 6800 radio on my Mogul and its helped quite a bit. Not to mention, with those two sites, you’ll probably figure out how to enable your GPS.

Got 955k downstream on my touch after the upgrade. It also seems to be running a lot faster (menu switching, etc) and the screen seems to be easier to touch.
