They will but 6.5 takes more resources....... The extra memory will be a big deal if you want to stay current. I ahve devved ROM's for the VZW Pro since it was out.... 6.1 is fine but 6.5 gets a little ugly.

agreed, to stay current this phone will nto do it. For those just looking to use thephone the way it comes.... Good deal. For those looking to mod the phone... Get the sprint diamond.
