Official Verizon ROM Update for XV6800

It looks like the official Verizon Wireless ROM update is here for the XV6800

This is supposed to update the operating system to Windows Mobile 6.1
It also adds EVDO Rev A capability.

RUU_TITAN_VZW_WWE_3.57.605.1_RS_TITAN_3.37.75_OM_VZW_Ship.exe

The old ROM is version 2.09.605.8
and the new ROM is version 3.57.605.1

Unfortunately, GPS is NOT enabled for you to use on other applications like Google Maps, TomTom, etc. Hence, if you wish to use your phone as a GPS navigator, then you better learn how to install a custom ROM.

Go here to download the upgrade:

  1. has anybody else tried this and then had to call Verizon since they "couldn't authenticate my phone"? I dialed #8899 and the rep took my account info, then said I should be able to make calls now.

  2. Same here. Now, we need a hack of this ROM to enable full GPS without having to subscribe to VZW VZNavigator. I tried it. It works, but the maps are much worse than Google or MS Live.
