It gets old.

I don't mind hearing/knowing things that are bad with 6.5, I have no vested interest and I don't own any microsoft stock, I'm out of contract and could easily get a hero or switch to att and get $100 3G if I wanted.

6.5 is far from perfect and there are things I hate about it, but the pros outweigh the cons and for me its much better than iphone and more preferable than android at the moment.

Okay well 6.5 was officially released a few days ago. You expect them not to put out reviews on it just because we all know that 6.5 was a waste of an upgrade? I mean really

We just need 7.

Which is the point all of these reviews are trying to make. The OS is essentially unchanged for almost 10 years now. 6.5 is a band-aid on a decapitation. They shouldn't have wasted time on 6.5 and just focused on WM7.
