Re: Any hope of GPS unlock for Verizon Omnia?
Yes, this is the ROM update you want for the GPS unlock. It isn't 'perfect' (AGPS needs work) but it is most likely the best we will get. It has been out for a few months now (I see they finally released a Vista version) and is pretty stable. Once you flash to this one, you can go to the Omnia upgrade section and flash to a custom cooked CF03 ROM (I am running WM6.5 now).

As for backing up your info, when flashing all you want to backup and restore is your PIM (contacts, calender, email.....) info. If you do a full restore from a previous ROM you risk negating or at least hurting a lot of the improvements the new ROM is supposed to make.

I use SPB Backup, but if all your backing up is PIM info, a free app works great, or just syncing your contacts to your PC with activesync and syncing them back after flashing.

It gets pretty confusing at first, but it gets better. Just let us know if you have any more questions and someone will chime in with info, answers, links.....whatever you need!
