Um, I think that is highly unlikely. Verizon is not going to spend the R&D (I know, that sounds funny, but they probably do spend some bux on qual) and add, what, 5,000 phones to their network? They are taking on Q&A, training, support costs, etc, etc, to support a minimal amount of phones that they would then yank?

It is more likely that HTC and Verizon are working on ironing some of the obvious bugs (let's hope) before rolling out the TP2 with WinMo 6.5. Us early adopters will then eventually get the update because they don't want to support 5,000 people with phones that don't match the other 50,000 TP2's that they have their network.
