The XDA-Developers has done it again, owners of the outdated but nevertheless popular HTC Touch Pro, can get the much talked about Windows Mobile 6.5 running on their devices, just follow some instructions and you'll be good to go. Windows Mobile 6.5 is not officially released as yet by Microsoft, but a XDA forum member got a hold of the ROM, he did some hacking and got it ported to to the HTC Touch Pro, but do not expect it to run smoothly though.

Problems identified so far are the lack of volume control, requires a reset, and always getting stuck in lock mode. Such issues are normal and expected, frankly if you value your handset you may want to stay clear from this hack, but if you want to live in the fast lane and could care less if your phone blows up and rip your hands off, then go ahead and have ball why don't you? Don't say you've never been warned.
