This is great news, but why is it being shipped with 6.1? When is 6.5 coming out? Thanks,
...
Just heard from an HTC rep that it should be soon... no exact date.
It WONT be an over the air update, but rather a hard line update.

6.5 is supposed to be out on Oct 6, how soon after do you think VZW might put it on the TP2?
...
well if it is supposed to come out oct 6 i would say then
The TP2 is coming with 6.1 installed and you have to have it upgraded to 6.5
I wish i could remember what the exact improvements are on it.

This is all good and great but in chicago they do not have them at any of the stores. they said the phone is going to be a direct buy just off the net.

For the first few days. I heard a rumor about a Tuesday launch in stores. I'm in a store, and can't wait.
