Well, just got off the phone with a Vzw tech supervisor (who's also a member of this forum). Of interest was that he says 6.5 will be hitting the streets within the next few weeks. While he didn't know for certain which build of 6.5 or exactly which version of Manila, he did indicate that the version of Manila has been updated (unlike the AT&T -and possibly the January 10th TMob - TP2) and that we'll get our homescreen snowflakes soon enough. Hopefully!

Oh, and if someone has already posted this, I didn't mean to steal your thunder. I tried to find you, but came up with pocket lint.

It wont be 2.5, it will be Sense 2.1, similar to the one found on the 6.5 ROM for US Cellular's TP2

Still, I'll take it.

I wonder how the Verizon ROM will differ from a custom Sense 2.1 ROM like MightyRom.

I do know you can check out US Cellular TP2 videos on Ewetube, if you are familiar with MR.

I didn't see a huge amount of differences between Manila 2.1 and the USC stock Sense 2.1, aside from the weather-integrated home screen. So assuming this is what we can expect, at least that offers some idea.

Reps are so unreliable with updates like this. I take this information with a nanometer sized grain of salt.

And then some!

What he didn't tell you is they're actually going to take Mighty Mike's ROM and re-release with Verizon branding

LOL Probably. Of course, the Vzw people who make decisions such as "FM Radio? That's too good for our customers!" Would probably nix that.
