Goo-covered Touch Pro2 supposedly running T-Mobile USA ROM

If we had to guess, this is the ROM destined for the Rhodium / Wing II that'll hopefully be hitting T-Mobile later this year, but for now, you're getting it served to you on a drywall putty-encrusted Touch Pro2 for some reason. Or maybe it's peanut butter, cake frosting, or Aspercreme -- we really couldn't tell you -- but we can tell you that no amount of Windows Mobile-induced desire is going to get us to touch this thing without latex gloves. Good news is you can grab the ROM for yourself and install it on something with a little less organic material smeared all over it, or do as the rest of the consumerati do and simply wait for an official release -- however long that might take. Your call.

He's trying to cover up the carrier branding with it (whatever it is).

BGR has the shots sans goo.

Why goo up the sides, though? Does it have Magenta(TM) pinstripes or something?

What the... ?

This calls for a caption contest!

i bet verizon will get an ugly white one that looks just like that.

[Daergar Posted Mar 25th 2009 5:52PM]

The explaination in the XDA thread is that that particular phone is a hardware test model, and the actual casing isn't completed. He has a second phone thats complete, sans goo, and (thankfully) sans white backplate.

I really want this phone, but T-mo had better not release it only with the white backing, or they risk uglifying a very nice looking device :/

Looks like someone wiped their butt with the phone?

[RogueGenius Posted Mar 26th 2009 1:14PM]

Your poo is off-white?

he is in love with it.

I heard they will be shipping the phone in a brown "mocha" color. I sure hope not or this device is ruined. Why would they turn a nice looking phone into an ugly one? Whats the point.
