Great news for all you Cingular 8525 users; HTC released the software ROM upgrade to your device. Remember like any other ROM updates you must make a backup of all the information on your device as it will delete everything. Personal information such as contacts, calendar, tasks, etc. can be backed up using ActiveSync. Be careful to follow directions to the t, if not you may permanently brick your phone.
