WM 6.5 is Official.....Yet not available

[Reef48]

I feel ya... Upgrades are nice and I for one am diffently ready to flash to 6.5. Out with the old and in with the new. More for the unlocker then anything.

[MrGoodCat]

hell yeah, and that seems to be coming along very well. i have yet to use any version of 6.5, just seen vids. i am also excited for the windows marketplace. sounds like we'll finally get a good library going for apps/games and such. no more endless searching

Its like waiting for the TP2 to come out all over again........okay maybe im exaggerating a little

[Young_breedent]

I have renamed Oct. 6 in my house -- it is now Phone Christmas! My kids think I am stupid.

YEA! Two days!

Merry Phone Christmas? I like the sound of that. So tomorrow will be Phone Christmas Eve!

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.

If 6.5 comes to Sprint on the 6th I might go ahead and get the TP2 even with the BT bugs. I can get it for $199 on my Business Plan, I am sure the 3rd party developer is more likely to fix than MS would

Yea Paragon, I've been thinking the exact same thing.

I hope it's available on the 6th myself, but I sincerely doubt that will be the case.....
