Due to lots of other commitments, its been a long time since my last post, so I thought I would start with something simple…..

If you have an HTC Touch HD on Orange (I do) then you’ll probably be interested to know that there has a ROM upgrade available since late August. This takes the ROM to version 1.59.61.2. You can find upgrade guide details and the ROM download at the following Orange Business site URL.

I really like my Touch HD and this ROM update fixes a number of issues, including some occasional device freezes, GPS improvements and tweaks to the TouchFlo interface when answering calls. The upgrade process was one of the slickest I’ve experienced on a Windows Mobile device, with progress displays on both devices at all times which was great. As with all updates, remember to make a backup keep your device powered and connected at all times during the upgrade.

Following the upgrade, my device generally seems quicker and more responsive overall. Subjectively it also looks like the graphics are clearer and better. The colours certainly look more vivid although this isn’t mentioned as one of the improvements by Htc.

Currently the Touch HD is not identified as a device being officially supported for an upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.5, (which is due to launch next week). Therefore this could be the last update to the Touch HD.

A recommended upgrade……
