Updated: Official Sprint WM6.5 Update For TP2 Coming March 19th
Although most of you are probably running a cooked Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM from our forums, some of you will be happy to hear that a Sprint brochure shows that the Touch Pro 2 will be upgradeable to Windows Mobile 6.5 in March.
Our user platin465 was kind enough to post an image of the Sprint Small Business Catalog.
Update: Our user 99accordv6 was nice enough to give us thetip that the update will be available this Friday, March 19th.

Will it be 6.5 or 6.5.3? Inquiring minds want to know.
My guess is 6.5. I just want to see what they do with the interface. Sense 2.1, 2.5 or something between the two…
I’ll believe it when I see it. Not gonna hold my breath for that one
Hopefully 6.5. I wonder if enough of us bug them if could get a date.
sweet, now i can officially update my outdated phone. lol
When it happens, I will personally hit the Thank You button 10,000 times………
umm this is old news we’ve known this since back when it was first announced still no date beyond march…
I wonder if they updated any Sprint Apps like the Navigation?
yeeeeaaaaaa finaly 6.5 waiting to get it on my tp2 thanks
HOPEFULLY WE ALL CAN UPGRADE TP2 TOMORROW, SO WE CAN REALLY CALL IT “OFFICIAL”
Wow, something I posted made it to the news page. Cool! Other than that, yes, i agree that I believe it when I see it. However, it is the first time I’ve seen it in a physical mailer as opposed to internet rumors, etc.
A little too late….
Yeah I will believe it when I see it. remember the touch pro update came out a month before the release of the touch pro 2, I’m sure that I will still be happier with the cooked rom I’m running.
I’m like others, I’ll believe when it comes out. I have been told by a friend who works in the IT area of Sprint(not someone who works on these areas) that the reason they’ve taken so long to release the update compared to the others has been that they wanted to make absolutely certain that their other ancillary services worked well(NASCAR, NFL, Etc, etc). They’ve had so many black eyes over the years for customer service, they are gun shy of releasing a buggy update.
We’ll see when it happens.
Well im happy to say that i went to a Sprint store and………………. its comeing out on the 28 of this month!!!!!

yep. its on. they shoulda just made 7 available.
I understand that they have to test these new updates, but seriously? Why can’t they give realistic projections for when they are going to release the updates? Wait wait wait.
Hopefully this update allows for better apps on window mobile devices. I recently gave up my BB tour for this ****… so far the apps suck and installing some require you to be attached to a PC. On the BB you could do just about everything Wirelessly. I also love backing up my device before anything was installed. I cant send mass mms’. There are a few feature’s that I like but not a ton. Hopefully WM 6.5 helps…
3-19-10 =]
@tgraves1996 – @99accordv6 –
Let’s all pick a random date…
ya i hope it s fast and no gliches
@neudof – My guess … Mar 27th.
I just sold mine, getting an HTC Hero so I can actually use my phone. We will see how Windows 7 is, but after countless hours spent tweaking my phone to ACT LIKE A DROID I figured I’d stop wasting my time and just get one.
o rly? who is supdawg?
CONGRATS ACCORD!!!
what’s up Dawg!!
I find this funny on the credits as I recall 99accordv6 giving us the screen shot, not supdawg…. Either way though I hope we do get our update just to see why they took so long.
I just want the offical rom so i can rip it apart and use the cabs
i hope its true!because they waited a long time everybody else got there 6.5 upgrades so for us to be last we better have a good update!
This update will mean nothing if it doesn’t have htc sense. At least for those of us who currently run our own roms.
TODAY IS 6.5 & TOMORROW WM7 SAME STORY WE’LL ALWAYS WANT SOMETHIN NEW, SO LET’S JUST WAIT FOR THEM, WE’LL GET THEM HOPEFULLY SOONER THAN LATTER. AND TO ELSHADDAI EX BB TOUR,
SMART MOVE TO WM TP2, YOU’LL GET TO LOVE IT JUST LIKE ALL OF US
DON’N WORRY ABOUT ATTACHING THINGS, JUST THINK OF A MAN & WOMAN
WE ALL LOVE TO ATTACH THINGS TOGETHER )~ (( Lol!
People, this Sprint release will be far less impressive than what our own chefs have been giving us since the HSPL released. All the cabs will be old, they will most likely move the bulk of UI customability, and will require mass registry tweaking just to get it to a similar point of what we already have. The only thing I’m moderately interested in is the possibility of a radio update without have to security unlock the phone.
Personaly, I’m not excited nor impressed.
I meant to say “…remove the bulk of UI customability….”. Damn typos….:D
My fellow PPCgeekers,
I have 2 more screenshots that I took off of my cellphone proving that the release date is STILL GOING TO HAPPEN.
Hopefully we will be able to finally use Sprint MMS without 9 billion fix cabs!!
TP2 has been nice to me. Took it back to Malaysia and Singapore and work prefectly and tether with it too.
Now I can do a hard reset and install WM6.5 on it.
I just with HD2 would had come to Sprint.
WM 6.5 Update will give the cooks the tools to get HTC MMS working once and for all. Therefore making HTC TP2 Perfect. Everyone in Sprint most likely to upgrade just to see it. And then once the cooks get it down, We will all go back to one of their Roms. ( I know I will) ;0D .
Is this bogus? I contacted Sprint more than once and everyone I spoke to advised that there is no report of the update being available on March 19th. My last inquiry was today, March 18th.
its coming just have patients!
