purchasing new TP2 from Sprint(US) - any serial/revision to look for on phone or box?

Hey, are there any "newer/revised" editions of the TP2 since it first came out? I'm about to go pick one up from the Sprint Store, and I'd like to know if I should keep an eye out on the package/box labeling for anything in particular - i.e. a serial string / revision / letters / that might separate newer manufactured versions.

Or maybe something printed w/in the back of the actual phone itself would be better?

Other hardware devices have this at times, and I was wondering if this particular HTC TP2 went through such changes.... I couldn't find a good answer on this search query, so hopefully one of y'all might know. Thank you!

Oh, and should I expect the TP2 from Sprint to be preloaded with WinMo 6.5 or 6.1? I called a few stores and they gave me both answers.... obviously this was over the phone though

Cheers.

the only thing I know that changed since the release is going from 6.1 to 6.5.

idk...you might get 6.1. because when i got my phone replaced last week, i fired that bad boy up right when i opened the envelope and to my disappointment, the splash screen said 6.1. didn't get the mechanics of it not being preloaded with the 6.5 already.

HTC doesn't normally publish revisions nor do revisions happen very often.

Alright cool, so bottom line is; it'll most likely be WinMo 6.1 and there haven't been any hardware/software changes since its inception eh?

this is correct.

if you can get access to phone before having to commit, dial ##778# and look @ built date and hopefully it should be within last two months. O/w not much else. Also if its a new recently made phone it should come w/ 6.5.

HTC doesn't publish official rev,but I firmly believe all tech com. make quiet changes to their product to fix problems so I do believe in later built dates
