the long awaited ROM for the TyTN arrives….. for the TyTN only
Good news: Yep HTC have released the ROM
bad News: you need to validate your HTC account with a TyTN IMEI – only fair as I pointed out before but it means all the OEM and operator branded owners will have to wait or get dirty.
But this should really set the cat amongst the pigeons !!! Orange will really need to think long and hard about developing the windows Mobile 6 ROM for the m3100 now.
It’s the first time an official manufacturer ROM has hit the market for an Orange badged product it should be minimal development to provide the upgrade and if they don’t they are really letting their customers down.
The Touch is out there as an Orange WM6 Pro handset and they are imminently releasing an exclusive HTC device so they have little incentive commercially to spend time on the m3100 ROM but if they don’t they are going to upset a fair few customers.
in the meantime if you’re curious you could always wander off to P2P land, purely for investigative purposes of course.
Mashup of Mayhem 
The ROM has been widely distributed on P2P and there are links to rapidshare hosted versions of it on XDA Dev so I feel that all the non O2 users will be downloading pretty soon – I am loathe to do so but I can’t wait for Orange forever.

I’ve got a rebranded phone from Vodafone. I’ve emailed them to give me a link to download the ROM, but I guess they might not have it!
What’s the dirty way you mentioned up here?
