Possible, but not reliable. The stock non-GPS ROM is smaller than the GPS ROM, from what I've seen HTC doesn't "erase" memory, they just re-load the ROM on top of what exists. This leaves a chunk of data in memory that the current ROM doesn't understand how to access or use leading to instability.
Cell phone manufacturers typically format memory as part of a firmware update, LG and Moto for example. I don't know if devices designed for Windows Mobile don't do this for a particular reason, I still have a lot to learn.
Think of it as making a mix tape when you were a teenager. You had a crappy old Great White album and recorded Motley Crue and Megadeth and Metallica songs on it after covering up the write protect holes. Unless you used up every little bit of tape at the end of each side there was still a little bit of Great White on there at the end of the other songs, right?
I've had one get squirrelly on me that I couldn't in good concience send to a customer, and a few others that were fine after monitoring for a few days. If I had a better handle on what you guys are doing I may be able come up with a remedy.
Which is why I'm here...

Right, but down-reving radio versions and re-locking the SPL is tricky. Unless I'm doing something wrong...
One of the carriers we service didn't implement GPS, and are hung up on us shipping 6.0 on 6800's. I really don't have a good explanation why though, several customers have requested 6.1 and we can't oblige.
Next will be the 6900 and 6850 I'm sure.
If you guys don't mind I may post here from time to time asking for some input until I get this down to a science.
