I love 6.5 and don't ever want to go back. The telus tp2 still doesn't have an unlocker so no matter how much $ i have, i couldn't pay to go backwards and use 6.1. I'll definitely get a tp2 when its released but not until they create an unlocker ( which should hopefully be any day now because the telus tp2 has been out for over a week now)

I don't like WM6.5. I hate the new start menu. I hate scrolling through. I don't have $1900 to blow on a phone, but if I could see buying one for a grand. Besides Sprint will be able to replace it soon enough if you had an issue. My work pays for my phone. I decide all the phones that my sales people use. I won't allow anyone to use a phone without USB charging ports. If it doesn't have WM they aren't using it either. I rolled us all out onto Touch Pros when they came out. Mine was $749 plus tax from Best Buy.

thats what im saying, how much sooner did you have your tp's? cause at lauch day they were only 599 or 579 plus tax.
ON a side note if you hate 6.5 then i guess i can understand but i hate 6.1 so this works for me. Plus all future software updates will be 6.5 so i would think about getting use to it, plus most stuff in the winmo app store will be for 6.5 but will probably work on 6.1 also.

Too true. I'll spend $150-$200 on a pair of jeans and people call me insane. I have no problem with it, others do.

There are some who will pay $17,500 for an old (albeit extremely rare) NES video game.

There are beta phones out there. It's possible someone smuggled out a beta device and is selling it.

Still, paying 4 figures for a phone just so you have it a few weeks early is a bit extreme.
