Re: Rom that just works

In my best effort not to get irritable over the incredibly arrogant and uninformed statement you just made.....

1. Windows mobile is about functionality, not pretty flashy sliding around fluff. If you WANT pretty flashy sliding around fluff, go buy an iphone, because thats ALL it is.

2. The stock rom is quite functional, and works as it should, however, its slow and bulky IMO, and has alot of room for improvement, which is where we come to custom roms.

3. There are multiple custom roms available, all of which have good and bad points. For what you are wanting, my suggestion is the latest silence 6.5 rom. Its fast, stable, better than average battery life, lightweight, and it works.

4. You made the comment that you "just expect a phone to work". If you wanted JUST a phone, you should have bought a razor. These phones are capable of so much more than most people who have them can even comprehend, and ANYBODY who even scratches the surface of what these devices are capable of, probably only uses their device as a phone 10% of the time, if that.


I think you need to take a step back, take a deep breath, and evaluate what exactly you think the device in your pocket is, and what you actually want it for, because if the reason for purchasing it was to have the latest cool factor phone, then you might as well move on to the next shiny object. The TP is the best mobile device of its time IMO, however, it is not by any means optimized out of the box, and to expect it to be, if you have any knowledge of microsoft and the software they produce, would be absurd. You cant taylor an operating system thats capable of anything, to every single user individually.
