"We’re seeing a lot of talk about software upgrades this week, aren’t we? There must be something in the air. This time around, it’s an update that’s probably been awaited more than another, and that’s a pretty bold statement. For all those HTC Touch Pro2 owners out there, rocking the device on the Now Network, your time has finally come, as Windows Mobile 6.5 is finally here for your downloading pleasure.

The update to Windows Mobile 6.5 is a much needed step forward for the Touch Pro2. While the hardware is great, the software has been severely lacking, since, well, day one. But, now that we’ve got WinMo 6.5 to add to those devices, we can finally say that the device is ready to move into the future (even if the future does, in fact, end here). What do you get when you do update your handset? You’ll get the standard improvements to HTC’s Sense User Interface, some more social network integration, and it provides a few minor bug fixes.

Your phone should look like a brand new machine when you get this update up and running. And that’s never a bad thing. If you’re a Sprint customer running around with a Touch Pro2, please let us know how the update process goes for you, and what you think of 6.5. Was it worth the wait?" via slashphone.com
