Well, 6.5 is just better all around, there are a lot of cosmetic differences between the two but 6.5 has been overall better in every regard for me. Head to the Touch pro upgrades section, you will need to unlock your phone first (there is a sticky on this). Then download your 6.5 rom of choice (I prefer Juicy or starrom but there are many good ones). After that read the sticky about flashing, it is very simple you just download and run the RUU (rom upgrade utility) after copying your new roms .nbh file into that folder. Lemme know if you need any help.

I'm waiting for the next revision to Mighty's 5 ROM, I'm hoping he'll work out the kinks.

that would be awesome, cause I wouldnt have to do it manually. While Im a computer nerd and gadget junky I still cant bring myself to actually flash and load a new rom. I hear chickens clucking.

i think theyre just presenting it at a conference in may... if you have sprint its going to take a while if at all that they will release 6.5 to the touch pro. i know for the mogul it took them about half a year from the release of 6.1 to upgrade moguls from 6.0 to 6.1. also, WM6.5 is a selling point for newer phones so Sprint has to take that into consideration seeing that the TP2 has basically the same specs as the Touch Pro so they might use 6.5 to have the TP2 have an edge over TP and not release 6.5 on the TP at all.

Just a quick note, it would be helpful if the mods or OP could add a question mark to the title of this thread, so it reads more like a question than a howto.
