HTC lets carriers develop their own roms... so you have to wait for sprint not HTC.

The Touch Pro 2 has had a WM 6.5 upgrade for a while now. It's Sprint that is holding out on us, not HTC. Heck, the AT&T and US Cellular versions of the Touch Pro 2 shipped with WM 6.5.

this is true, but according to windowsphone.com, the 6.5 update will come from htc's website, not sprints. sprint has 6.5 on the samsung intrepid, but htc has yet to release it or the 2.0 upgrade for the hero.

Again, HTC released the WM 6.5 to Sprint months ago. Sprint is the one holding out on releasing it to us. No matter which website you download it from, it is Sprint that gives the okay to make it public. HTC already gave their okay when they released it to Sprint in the first place. Both Sprint and HTC will tell you this if you contact the right people.

It works like this:
1: HTC releases ROM to Sprint.
2: Sprint tests and tweaks ROM to their liking and gives it back to HTC.
3: HTC puts it on their website. Sprint probably puts it on theirs too at the same time.

We have been in stage 2 for months now. If you want to be mad at somebody about this, it's Sprint who you should be mad at. HTC has done their part, but they're waiting on Sprint at this point.

I understand what you're saying, but not all of is even use custom
ROMs. I get my TP2 next week, and I probably won't use any. I have no idea how to, and I wouldn't know which one to use. I'm always afraid that it will screw up my phone. I know, I'm not very educated when it comes to ROMs. Sorry. LoL

Actually, maybe someone could point me to a thread explaining ROMs and how they work...how to use them.

I agree with this I want 6.5 but have no idea how to find it or install it I have no choice but to wait I would be the one to brick a phone lol

Just take note.. the samsung intrepid is a very basic 6.5 phone. and I'd be pretty pi$$ed if sprint put the software bundle on the tp2.. so I rather them take there time and get it right.( measure twice, cut once)

Yeah but again, 2 carriers in the USA actually had their Touch Pro 2's ship with WM 6.5 out of the box- AT&T and US Cellular.

And if I am not mistaken.... they released their TP2's AFTER WinMob 6.5 was released. Whereas Sprint released the TP2 before any other carrier (before 6.5 was out).

Yes, they released theirs after. Sprint was not the first to release it though, T-Mobile had it before Sprint.

I generally support this policy also, but... I can't help but think, "They're still gonna cut their finger.. you know they will."
