Sprint's HTC Touch Diamond firmware update leaks, definitely brings joy

It seems that early '09 has been the time of firmware updates for all kinds, and now Sprint's Touch Diamond has had its moment. At a quick glance, this isn't just a few bug fixes to keep the squeaky wheels smiling, but rather some major reworking of what's going on under the hood. Changes are rumored to include Internet Explorer 6 --and we thought they weren't going to do this -- new Radio, Opera, YouTube, and a pile of other treats. If you're inspired and can't wait for the inevitable, we're sure with some diligent searching you'll get your mitts on, for the rest of you, we're sure it'll pop up soon enough.

Old news. http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2009/01/16/new-rom-leaks-for-sprint-htc-touch-diamond-includes-mobile-internet-explorer-6/
Mal wouldn't know a scoop if it came up and introduced itself to him. ;)

Perhaps you should look at the source for the BGR article...
xo0m @ Jan 17th 2009 2:51PM
lol, read before posting

Actually, you've missed the point. It was not Malatesta who broke the news. It was 'Old_Man_Jenkins' @ PPCGeeks incidentally, who _goes unacknowledged_ in the egomaniac's write up. Talk about low-brow!
JAdams @ Jan 17th 2009 4:44PM
Then why did you do the same and refer back to BGR, where they didn't acknowledge anyone and you didn't in your original post?
I mean you post was about it being "old news" and the "scoop" not who gets credit. Seems like you are now backtracking to CYA,
backbeat @ Jan 17th 2009 4:51PM
That's what I expected. Flame the messenger. Tsk, Tsk.
FYI - BGR provided the direct link to the forum post by 'Old_Man_Jenkins' as well the the WME post which is why I linked to it. Not enough for you? Pfffft.

Actually, so did Malatesta. http://www.wmexperts.com/upcoming-sprint-htc-diamond-rom-leaked
See his incredibly long link entitled : "Evidently Sprint is getting ready to release a significant ROM update for the HTC Diamond"

Thanks for chiming in with old news, Bunky ... As well as coincidentally joining just today to interject the stale news. But ...
Mal was never the source _NOR_ did he ever give proper credit to the actual source.
Mal's ego and righteousness is self-inflated.

Brandon @ Jan 17th 2009 12:32PM
No, it will not.
