should I upgrade from 6.1 to 6.5?

I find 6.1 to be more responsive than 6.5. Really not that much big of a difference between the two; WinMo 6.5 is still the equivalent of putting lipstick on a pig.

Take a look at the Neodium v6+ ROM, it's custom designed for Sprint users. True, you don't get the Sprint Navigation or Sprint TV tabs, but they're easy enough to re-install via CAB files. WinMo 6.1 is bad enough, but what Sprint did to it borders on criminal. All that yellow is just hideous. I've played around with several 6.5 ROMs, and Neodium is easily my favorite, but everyone's opinion is different. Give it a shot, and worst case scenario, if you don't like it, just flash back to the stock ROM. Before flashing, be sure to run a backup utility like PIM Backup or one of the other backup programs out there, to backup stuff like your text msgs and call history, that ActiveSync or WMDC won't backup.

Have fun!

any word when the sprint 6.5 is coming out? If ever?

I unlocked and ran 6.5/6.5.x on my touch pro, but the stock 6.1 rom on the tp2 has been very stable for me. I installed mobile shell with the mobile sense theme and haven't looked back since...
