When is Windows Mobile 6.5 coming for the HTC Touch Pro2?

We know that Windows Mobile 6.5 is coming to the HTC Touch Pro2. When? Some rumors indicate that we should be seeing it later this month. I think that's a reasonable rumor. After all, it's available overseas (GSM model), so now it's just a matter of time before Verizon gives the OK. Maybe we'll see Sprint beat Verizon on this one.

Windows Mobile 6.5 update for HTC Touch Pro2

When is the Windows Mobile 6.5 update coming for Verizon Wireless HTC Touch Pro2? Some rumors say that we should see something by the end of November. I don't mind waiting since the update to 6.5 won't really bring any significant improvements. The main benefit will be the update to Internet Explorer Mobile (Pocket IE).

ROM upgrades

I've now done several ROM upgrades using the USB cable and also using a microSD card on my XV6800 (also known as the Titan, the Mogul, the PPC 6800, and others).

I have to say, the microSD card method seems to be the best method. The USB method never gave me any problems, but some people have reported 'bricking' their phones because their phone got stuck during the process. The microSD method seems to be more reliable

One note - not every microSD card will work! I fortunately had 2 different cards. Neither card was a SDHC card. However, one was a 1 GB Kingston and that card didn't work! The other card was a 2 GB A-Data and that card worked fine.
