My thinking is that if it comes with 6.5, it'll be the RTM version without all the 'coolness' of the newest builds. Plus it'd be chalked full of sammy and vz software. You wonderful chefs wouldn't be able to make ROM's for it until a leaked beta ROM or official update was released. If it came with 6.1, they'd probably release an update to 6.5 fairly soon. Just my two cents...or possibly just one cent!
