Well, 6.5 is just better all around, there are a lot of cosmetic differences between the two but 6.5 has been overall better in every regard for me. Head to the Touch pro upgrades section, you will need to unlock your phone first (there is a sticky on this). Then download your 6.5 rom of choice (I prefer Juicy or starrom but there are many good ones). After that read the sticky about flashing, it is very simple you just download and run the RUU (rom upgrade utility) after copying your new roms .nbh file into that folder. Lemme know if you need any help.

I'm waiting for the next revision to Mighty's 5 ROM, I'm hoping he'll work out the kinks.

that would be awesome, cause I wouldnt have to do it manually. While Im a computer nerd and gadget junky I still cant bring myself to actually flash and load a new rom. I hear chickens clucking.

Even if the new 6.5 update comes out you'll still have to flash to phone to update it, hahah. Better learn! It opens up a whole new awesome world.
