We just saw some leaked shots of a Hero running Android 2.1 with HTC Sense a couple days ago, and now it looks like you can get in on the action yourself, thanks to a leaked ROM now up on XDA-developers and AllDroid. Installation appears to be pretty straightforward, but there are some steps involved, so make sure you backup and set aside some time to get things right — and let us know how it all goes in comments!

Filed under: Handsets , HTC , ATT , Windows Mobile Well hey, look at that — AT&T’s riff on the HTC Touch Diamond2 , the Pure , has quietly gone on sale, meaning Windows Mobile 6.5 just hit the world a couple days early. The glory won’t last long, though: the nicer Imagio is hitting Verizon on the 6th, and the Leo ‘s looming. Still — WinMo 6.5 is here.

Filed under: Handsets , RIM , GSM , EDGE , HSDPA , UMTS , BlackBerry OS We don’t know exactly what they’re feeding the engineers up in Waterloo, but we’re guessing it’s a combination of Red Bull, NoDoz, and speed, because they appear to be working on about ten devices at once — awesome news for anyone looking to pick up a new BlackBerry in the next 6 to 12 months. We’ve already seen the Onyx in the wild, but as a refresher, this puppy does UMTS (and we’d assume HSDPA as well), a 3.2 megapixel AF cam, an undoubtedly gorgeous 480 x 360 display, GPS, and WiFi in a body more svelte than the Bold’s ; now, CrackBerry ‘s managed to score a unit and give it a quick once-over. All told the impression seems very positive, with the takeaway being that RIM has taken the best personality traits of the 8900 and 9000 series and stuffed it all into a single device. We’re not necessarily expecting this one on the market any time soon — AT&T just launched the 8900 a couple days ago , after all, and CrackBerry believes RIM could replace the trackball with a Gemini -style optical pad prior to launch — but it’s something to look forward to.
