After missing its July release target by a country mile, we’d thought the Silver may have been canned — but nope, she’s alive and well, strutting her stuff for a few privileged hands around the world. The HSDPA 7.2Mbps handset with GPS and WiFi takes the original candybar Pearl’s wildly successful format and applies a hearty dose of Windows Mobile Standard — not a concept that’s plan to appeal to everyone, but for the S740 shoppers of the world, a totally viable alternative. So we know Vodafone has a keen eye on releasing this; anyone else?

Though Bot. have had less-than-official upgrades floating around for ages, Sprint and HTC have finally seen fit to bless the Touch and Mogul with the real deal. In the case of the Touch, the Windows Mobile 6.1 update includes Sprint Navigation, EV-DO Rev. A, integrated Opera, and a new on-screen QWERTY keyboard, so it seems more than worth the few minutes you’ll spend downloading it and getting it all going. The Mogul gets Sprint TV (yay?), but unfortunately, no patch to magically morph it into a Touch Pro. Seriously, we’d pay good money for that.

Update: it seems like they’ve been pulled for the moment, but keep a keen eye out at HTC’s support site — we’re hearing they could show up again next week.
