Does this mean we'll finally get TellMe? http://www.tellme.com/you
I don't even care about 6.5 at this point, I've just been waiting to get that damn program forever..

When they release 6.5 thats when I get my TP2 till then I can wait.

CNET helps shed some more light on the matter by stating, "The software maker said on Tuesday that the first phones running Windows Mobile 6.5 will launch worldwide on October 6 and will include phones running on AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon Wireless." Specific handsets were not mentioned. Also not confirmed, is the amount of apps that have been submitted & approved for Marketplace.

i find this interesting... we know sprint isnt pushing their TP2 date back, since their offical announcement was after this was released...

is it me or does this wording state that on that date,oct 6th, new devices r being released that have 6.5(.1) on board...

so whats it gonna be... its not the TP2, its not Hero or InstinctQ-those r android, its not the Leo-thats not out and specs leave it at only gsm for now, the Rome and Mega arennt slated till 2010 sometime...

sprint only deals with HTC for winmo phones right?? so what do ya think?? am i just not recalling a recently approved cdma device that could make a launch date basically only a month from now?? or am i misunderstanding all this entirely??

i have a question hopefully someone can answer, for phones like the tp2 that are def. getting a 6.5 upgrade, will they be shipping with it if built after oct 6th? for example the sprint tp will be out a month before the 6.5 upgrade but the ones coming out after will they have 6.5 preloaded??

thanx in advance if anyone knows for sure
