HTC releases Software updates for HTC P3600 - GPS receiver activation official !
April 05, 2007 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. R.

HTC P3600 has GPS chipset (inferior to SiRF STAR III - much less sensitive, but functional nonetheless) that was deactivated and these updates, apart from many other improvements, are activating GPS receiver too:

New features and improvements are available with this operating software update.
  • GPS receiver capability enabled.
  • Browser improvements (mobile CSS, WAP, Iframe, etc.).
  • Bluetooth improvements.
  • New data network icons to differentiate between GPRS, EDGE, 3G and HSDPA connections.
  • Streaming player added.
TomTom NAVIGATOR 6

In order to enjoy the newly added GPS functionality of your P3600 we offer you a taster version of TomTom NAVIGATOR6, containing:
  • TomTom NAVIGATOR6 mobile application.
  • TomTom HOME to manage the TomTom contents and extras on your device.
  • One free city map (to be downloaded from the phone after installing the application).
Warning! Please ensure you have installed the Operating System [ROM] Update BEFORE installing TomTom NAVIGATOR 6.

Conclusion: times are over when people had to use unofficial ROM updates to get their GPS activated, but still HTC continues to leave a sour taste - the upgrade with GPS activation was released very late and when users are expecting ROM upgrade with Windows Mobile 6 the HTC instead is just releasing overdue updates. Anyway HTC has managed to sweeten this late upgrade with free test version of TomTom GPS navigation software, so users of this phone should not be too unhappy...
