Couple Ozone ???'s before I purchase

I am planning for an Ozone and have a couple questions for those who might already have one. I'm thinking for $50 how can you go wrong with this device?

1. Does it have Windows Live Search/Bing and include the mapping with GPS tracking and voice search like the TP2?

2. Any good tweaks or hacks to free up memory available? I have searched but not finding anything on here or XDA Dev site for the Ozone. Or does it just run that good and not require any?

3. Will it be WinMo 6.5 upgradeable?

Thanks for the info.

No it doesnt have bing but I assume you could just download it or google maps. The gps locks are very fast.
It doesnt need any memory freed it runs great.
Yes it will have official 6.5 upgrade.

The Ozone is hands down one of the best WM Standard devices on the market today.

Everything drewcam888 said is accurate, plus there are custom ROMs (including WM6.5) already available for it at XDA.

Thank You both for the replies. I am gonna get one. I need to add a line to my plan anyway and online right now I can get the Ozone with instant rebates and overnight shipping for $4.99 plus tax...how in the world can I go wrong? Sounds like a great phone and just what I need. I have a TP2 which I really like but I cannot get used to touch screen and never have been a fan of them. Should have thought about the Ozone before I got the TP2.
