A Completely New Experience Hits HTC Touch HD

XDA Developers released today a new custom ROM that will change not only your opinion of the HTC Touch HD, but also your experience with Windows Mobile 6.1.

The custom ROM is based on a fresh version of Windows Mobile 6.1 and incorporates the majority of the new HTC applications launched together with the HTC Touch Diamond2 and Touch Pro2 at Barcelona's MWC.

Long story short, this ROM will improve both performance and aspect of your device. Read on to see a complete list of features.

Warning! Flashing a custom ROM is dangerous and it will void your warranty! There are also chances you will brick (ruin) your device if not flashed properly, so we don't advise you to undertake device flashing!

We have a video review coming up shortly so stay tuned to pocketnow.com for more news on this!
