Re: no official wm6.5 on present phones?

Actually a lot of WinMo updates have been made available to OEM's for little or even no cost. The reason a lot of OEM's don't incorporate them into ROM updates is because it is not always cost-effective. For example, let's say HTC projected that a WM6 upgrade for the Apache would cost $20,000 but would only generate $10,000 in additional sales... of course they're not gonna do it.

Also, WM6.5 will require that the phone have a dedicated hard button for bringing up the start menu "honey comb". Since the Touch Pro doesn't have that, it wouldn't be allowed official 6.5 anyway.
