It will bring you up to date with the good and the bad. To answer your questions above. There is no issues with the things you mentioned above, except for the Stock User Interface(UI) most dont like it including myself because it lacks customization and its slow to some. I didnt really find it slow. But I did changed the UI. A lot of people just disabled it and used the Windows Stock 6.5 UI. It is better than Samsungs. A lot of people also including myself have installed SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 UI. Cost about 30 bucks, but it makes this phone rock, in speed, looks and fully customization. No need to flash rom yet. Only reason one needs to change roms is to remove the the unneeded verizon apps. No stable roms exist yet anyway. I will be posting an indepth review in the next few days here and over at verizon forum. But this phone in my opinion is the best windows mobile device in the us to date.
