Re: Official 6.5 Sprint rom offical yet?

Microsoft dropped the Windows button requirement a while back. The Touch Pro fits all of the requirements for 6.5 licensing now. The catch is the carrier and manufacturer have to make the effort to make a new ROM for the phone. Microsoft has nothing to do with it. So Sprint and HTC have to see a financial benefit to releasing an update for an EOL phone whose replacement is already on the market. Releasing updates for a phone that's still available makes sense because it helps extend its longevity, and gain additional sales. Releasing it for a product that's no longer available when they'd rather you just buy the newer one makes less business sense for them. Unless there's a serious security or stability issue with the current software that they need to resolve, I wouldn't expect to see ANY updates for the current TP, 6.5 or otherwise. I think we're stuck with unofficial ROMs for the TP.
