As the Op states...I concocted an email. It was purely to try to elicit information from them.

Jeez...people really see what they want to these days on PPCG.

What we want to see? You told a Sprint CSR that you wanted to cancel your account and return your phone if they could not provide you with 6.5 before your 30 days ended. I saw it because that is what you posted. I don't sit around dreaming that someone will make foolish threats and them post them at PPCGeeks. I think it would have been funny, however, if they had responded with

"As per your request, your account has been closed."

If you wanted to "concoct and email" that was aimed at getting them to tell you the release date, you surely didn't do a very good job. Your email clearly stated that you would leave Sprint if they didn't actually release 6.5 according to your schedule. You didn't even include an announcement of a release date in your demands.

I got a callback from someone with executive services today (had an issues with my TP1 that wasn't getting resolved).

She mentioned I should be happy with the TP2, it's what she had. So I asked "Oh cool, any news on Windows 6.5?" she said no idea right now. I didn't push it

Oh well...you tried...and that's the point...

Sprint is waiting for us to unlock the phone so we can beta test 6.5 for them. Once we figure out everything thats wrong, they'll tweak and release their own.

I actually like this 6.1 rom, but I really miss the kinetic scrolling in 6.5. If I have to wait until 11/30 for 6.5, I'll definitely go to a custom rom first.

I personally have given up on the unlocker, i'm waiting for the 6.5 release from HTC/Sprint. I'm good with the stock rom currently on the TP2. Come on 6.5!
