Secondly if it is 6.1 then why isn't it out yet? If the answer to this is that the o2 needs to meet vzw's specs and it's taking samsung this long to make vzw happy then I feel it's safe to assume that 6.5 either won't happen or when it does then the o2 will be soon replaced by the next great phone. Look at the omnia, it took vzw until AFTER the news of the o2 coming to vzw to release the GPS fix....
Either way, VZW has taught me patience, I'll wait till it has 6.5 till I jump on the boat....That or I may just skip this one....

Samsung NOT Verizon controls the OS on the Omnia II...when all countries Have their version of the Omnia II released then the 6.5 ROM will be dropped...there may even be a GSM 6.5 ROM first, then a CDMA ROM...when Samsung (not Verizon) first announced the Omnia II they said it would be released with 6.1 then upgraded to 6.5...I don't know why this is such a problem for everyone when this was the case from the official announcement of the Omnia II...Verizon unlocking the GPS on the Original Omnia had nothing to do with the release of the Omnia II...and truthfully if you had the chance to check out Samsung Virtual emulator of the Omnia II, Samsungs UI covers WinMo so good I doubt u will notice weather it is 6.1 or 6.5...now I know some folks (my self included) will probably choose not to use Samsungs UI in favor of SPB MS3, but the official 6.5 ROM will not be far behind the release of the Omnia II...but if ur really hot about having 6.5, or if u think verizons version of the Omnia II is ugly...you can't go wrong with Verizons HTC Imagio...similar specs, and it has HTC vast support forums...right out of the box...
