Probably not, hell people from here were able to put WM 6.1 on the Apache, so anything is possible.. but our current phones do not have the windows key so that right there would stop any type of official release to our current devices:

Guys! Relax. Put it this way.... is .8 increase of the screen worth a little below 600 dollars? The Pro2 is lacking a flashlight and its a slightly bigger phone with .8 increase of LCD display. Thats it. Nothing else. So is it worth 600 dollars for a slightly bigger screen? Remember.. HTC is still screwing everyone with no display drivers just like the mogul,diamond,touch,Pro and soo on. SO for me... I will skip this and I am happy with the PRo as of now. I will wait for the next Pro3 and see if it has Drivers. I will not buy no more HTC until the Driver issue is resolved. And we should all do that. Lets get HTC to ship us the freaking lazer beam drivers! I am sick of this crapp al;lreasdy.

youi've got a good point...i just wanna see the difference, i'll probably wait until some big changes are done....but I still wanna play with one

very good point, it reminds me of when i went out to buy my HDTV, the internals have to be better for it to merit an upgrade

Pros
Higher rez
Bigger Screen
Tilt screen
Better Speakerphone

Cons
Ugly as sin IPhoney look
HUGE
EVEN LESS Hardware Buttons

Same specs as TP overall

I will likely wait for the TP3.

wait a min. Looking at the specs I don't see video out. Do either of this phones have video out? can anyone confirm? if not I am sticking with my TP. Maybe I'll just wait for TP3.

It looks nice. I don't think I will upgrade unless I can sell my phone for the cost of the new phone like I did last time. But with getting video playback to work now, I can just use the video cables to put it on a bigger screen. I don't like that they took off the flash on the camera. I hope someone will be able to port the TF from it to put it on ours. That is the one thing I would really want. With the windows key going to be standard on each phone, I can't see why we can't remap the home key to do the same thing as it to be able to put 6.5 on our phones

DANGIT, THE PHONE POPUP BUG IS STILL ON THE TP2! Look at 4:55. He opens the keyboard, he's standing there discussing it, then he presses the Q key, and the phone app pops up searching for a name that contains the letter Q.

You'd think they would have tackled that by now, especially when the guy is trying to give a presentation.

I thought that was by design, so that you can just type a name and dial.
