Also, WM6.5 will require that the phone have a dedicated hard button for bringing up the start menu "honey comb". Since the Touch Pro doesn't have that, it wouldn't be allowed official 6.5 anyway.
So? We'll just map a way for that button to work. After all, ROMs currently exist with WM 6.5 working on the Touch Pro(GSM and CDMA).
