Like was said, it's not that it would run smoother, it's more that people want updated apps/drivers/radios.

I have seen the TP training phone at my HAMPTON, VA store when they first got it. I was getting my 3rd replacement TP when the tech said they just got the training phone, I also posted a few emails from Sprint about wm6.5. It is to be released by late summer or early fall, that is why an updated rom or hotfix have not been released.

Makes sense. Everyone else has an update out for their Touch Pro. Verizon, AT&T, US Cellular... Sprint is the only odd one out of the bunch and my theory is the same. They are lagging because they are testing WM 6.5 on the device as an official release.

It would give them some edge to over Verizon and AT&T as their Touch Pro will have an official 6.5 release. It might also allow them to sell the TP and the TP2 at the same time. As it is possible they will target the TP2 as a "world phone" and the TP as the domestic brother.

Either way I can see Sprint doing a 6.5 and it makes a lot of sense for them to do and for us to enjoy as well. Not all of us are interested in the TP2.

Good ol' Hampton, (that's my home town.) I miss it sometimes.

Any news when the TP2 is coming out?

The size of the ROM cooking community is really more a reflection of the high sales seen by the Touch Diamond and Touch Pro.

And let's not leave the device maker and carriers thinking they should not provide official updates. Their versions are the ones covered by your warranty . So many large businesses especially are not going to dabble with customized ROMs.

And just because ROM cooks make improvements and fixes, does not mean the device maker and carrier can't come up with an improvement not already done. There's always room for something else new. Even the smallest new thing can be leveraged in other custom ROMs.

Getting more support from the maker and carrier is only a good thing.

I have seen it back in March. The Touch Pro was the first phone that Microsoft ported wm6.5 onto. That is one reason there are so many wm6.5 roms for the Touch Pro compared to other phones. When the official rom comes out, a lot of folks will make better roms from it and then I of all people will use a non oem rom.
