That would make sense since a majority of the problems seem to be region-specific (based on signals). You may think everything is hunky-dory now, and then you and the Mrs. go on vacation to an area with a lot of voice roaming / fringe EVDO, and find your phone frozen every 5 min.

I'm just sayin, don't go thinkin' you just got lucky. In fact, try forcing your phone into roam-only under the settings, or force it to use EVDO only... Pretty sure one of those will freeze your device with the 1.47 rom.

I use my PPC as my Music/Media Player, and wireless music is a big deal for me. The a2dp part of the stack in WM6 fixed all the quality issues, and for some of us (me) there is no going back- unless someone figures out how to import the BT stack.

But whatever the case may be... there are clean WM6 roms that have as much memory as sampsons... I was running one of DCD's for a while that had 27MB free, and had the benefit of WM6 style graphics, as well as office and MMS support built in.

WM5 may run smoother, but you DO give up some things, especially on Sampson's clean rom. Still waiting for the perfect rom...
