Sprint to AT&T: Welcome to the Party!

So, for the seven folks out there who have NOT already upgraded their AT&T Tilt to Windows Mobile 6.1 through other means, your day has come. AT&T and HTC (you guys STILL haven’t sent me my HTC Touch Pro- or should I call it the AT&T Fuze? - yet!) have teamed up to bring you the official upgrade. You can grab yours from the official download page here.

What does the update get you? Well I’m glad I asked. You’ll get the unseen unknown OS optimization updates, as well as threaded text messaging, updated applications and Video Share abilities; but then again, if you read this post then all of this would be old news to you, right?

AT&T is the second official carrier to start releasing WM6.1 updates after Sprint beat them into the pool. Sprint released the updates for the Motorola Q9c at the beginning of June, and the HTC Touch and HTC Mogul at the same time in the middle of July.

UPDATE: Verizon just released their WM6.1 update for the XV6800, a day later.

So if you’re a Tilt, Touch, Mogul or XV6800 owner, what are you waiting for?! Go get those updates! Just remember, every flash WILL erase all of your personal data so make sure everything you need is backed up. Happy upgrading!

P.S. HTC, I’ll keep my eye on my mailbox, I expect my HTC Touch Pro very soon.
