How do you like it? The actual ROM of the unannounced HTC Mega has been leaked at XDA site. What’s so special about it? Well, this ROM contains the HTC’s latest TouchFLO 2D 2.0 UI. It  looks very similar to the TouchFLO 3D, just lacks all that “3D” stuff. So if you own an HTC WM 6.1/6.5 touchscreen device, and know how to flash it with custom ROMs, head on over to XDA to download the software.

Stay tuned for more details.

Wow, we would never expect such a turn... Sprint has officially announced that it intends to acquire Virgin Mobile and according to the release, the deal is done. The CDMA carrier is ready to cough up $483 million in total for the acquisition, and will also cover VM’s $250 million in debt at closing.

It is yet unknown whether Virgin Mobile will function as a separate company or it will be folded into Boost Mobile.

Just to let you know: T-Mobile UK has released the HTC Hero in the UK as the G2 Touch. It's now available online and should be available in stores in the coming days.

Apparently, Philips will be releasing a new V808 smartphone exclusively on China Mobile. It's main point of attraction is the Android-based OPhone OS, which basically means a carrier-customized application market and a few other tweaks, which however seem to be frown upon in the Chinese community. However, the lack of support for 3G, Wi-Fi and multitouch is unacceptable.

According to Verizon's latest announcement, thet'll start offering the desired Pre "early next year", right after the Sprint's exclusivity ends.

According to wmexperts, the upcoming HTC Leo it will probably be a MID (mobile internet device), similar to the HTC Advantage (known also as the Athena) and not a high-end clamshell smartphone as stated previously. Furthermore, it looks like the Leo is actually the same handset seen on the HTC´s 2009 launch list, namely the Thorn (Athena 2).
