once the unlocker is out i wont be running stock rom anyways but sprint actually made it easier by adding the update firmware button in settings. so basically you can update to official releases ota. its right next to the update profile and prl icons.

I'm not that exited at all....

From the microsoft source, the it seems that the improvement is not that much....

Why should i be exited ? because of the online backup ? because of the app market ? because of what else .....??? i'm sorry i don't see .....

Even for the 6.5 interface i find the tf3d 'desktop' interface with the coming schedule much cool

GEEEEZ guys, I don't want to burst anyone's bubble, but historically upgrades have NEVER been available the day of launch. They have always come weeks afterwards. I'm not saying it won't happen, but it is pretty unlikely. I sure hope it does. Reading some of the posts in this thread it sounds like there are a number of people who are going to be disappointed if the upgrade isn't available for their device on the 6th.

There have been many upgrades over the years for Windows Mobile and Pocket PCs. Many of them much bigger and more anticipated then this one, with MS releasing the finished product to its partners well in advance, and everytime it has been many weeks before carriers release and update.

Again, I hope it's different this time. For those expecting it as a given, it is not, and for those hoping for it, there's nothing wrong in hoping, just don't be disappointed or frustrated if it doesn't happen...it has never happened that way in the past.

Let's see what Tuesday brings.

well get out of my thread then :angry7:..As i stated in the very first post, thread is for those of us that are excited for the release and want to talk about how the carrier will release the upgrade. I'm tired of people coming in here talking about how they aren't excited and how it's not that much of an upgrade. Start your own thread and speak that bs. It is a wonderful upgrade and me and alot of other people can't wait so take that negative energy somewhere else. you probably don't even have a TP2

Woooohh...dude slowdown. I'm excited about WM6.5 as well. I used it on my Diamond for several months. When I went to the TP2 I was really disappointed in loosing WM6.5. I for one quite like the new interface on 6.5. Internet Explorer is better as well. Not to mention under the hood improvements.

As for more anticipated launches....WM5 had lots of prelaunch hype, just to mention one.

I only said what I did because there seemed to a few people thinking it was a done deal that WM6.5 would be available for their device on Tuesday, when that has not been the MO for previous launches....ever.

With version releasing the Imagio on tuesday with 6.5 and sprint 6.5 roms being leaked. Why would they not release them on the 6th with all the hype???
