Whilst not quite availible from HTC (that I can find) the WM6.5 updates for the Topaz have leaked out thanks to tom_codon of HTCPedia here. They include an updated TouchFlo3D with weather on the hope page, though it's not quite the HD2s TouchFlo.

Let us know what you think of them!

HTC Prophet - WM6.5.1 23081
HTC Touch Diamond - WM6.5.3 Light (28014)
HTC Leo - Getting repaired - WM6.5.3 (28014)

Cooking is easier with devices ;)

Theres nothing breathtaking about the update. Good old HTC make us wait

. But I will say its a clean and fast rom compared to most cooked roms. Battery usage will be a thing I check tommoz. Seems quite good. which is my only concern with the 2.1 sense and the radio in my experience you're lucky to get 2 days usage.

It's clean, but nothing special. Well, it's probably a big step forward from the previous 'official' ROM, but for me it looks outdated. While there are probably good reasons to include Manilla 2.1 it looks very much outdated when compared to 2.5, particularly around the message reading. I managed 15 minutes then went back to the 'cooked' rom I'd been using with Manilla 2.5.

Worth pointing out, this ROM appears to contain a new SPL, so if you've flashed an older HardSPL you'll need to update before flashing. If your device is still standard then it should be just fine.

Im using this as my default. been flashing different roms mainly Duttys Leo and for me I need the messaging to be flawless some leo roms have problems with sms and pimbackup... even myphone. my only gripe with official rom is opera now and it could be less bloated. if a clean version was done with apps like what dutty uses id be happy. till then this is a keeper
