what do you guys think, is it going to happen for our old pros?

I dunno but I'd be just as happy with a custom rom built off a solid actual release build of 6.5. I kinda want the 6.5.1 version now, though.

No way phone companies are greedy all they think about is ways to take your money. The XBox 360 is the first piece of hardware I think I have ever seen were a company actually upgraded the software without forcing the consumer to by new hardware. The phone companies want you to buy a new phone so they can get you under contract and they know some people will pay any price. Fortunately for me I have Psyki who will upgrade my phone without me buying new hardware.

We are not going to see 6.5 on our pros or diamond, if we do it wont be for a while.
If you really want 6.5, use a custom rom.

There's a good chance that the versions phones are launching/being upgrade to will be the same releases that we've been able to run on our phones for awhile (or older than what's currently available). The HTC "Official" Topaz 6.5 ROM Update for Vodafone is using WM6.5 SYS 21854. There are already 2 newer 6.5 versions that have become widely available (21859 & 21864). They are all 'actual' releases

Highly doubtful. Had the sequels not been released and they had units left to sell, yes. But now that it's off the market there's no profit in it for them. The only updates we'll see are for security or major stability issues. For instance, if a bug caused them all to start freezing up after midnight on December 31st of this year, they'd update to fix that. But don't expect new functionality when they can sell you a new phone for that.

Anybody that's ever flashed an NRG custom rom would consider that an unwelcome downgrade

Carrier roms are consitently the bottom of the barrel in my experience.

I've been running 6.5 for months now...
