Re: How much of a difference will new ROMs make? Did Verizon cripple it?
I've got my Imagio last Thursday. While there is the typical bloatware on it, it doesn't appear that Verizon crippled the device at all; e.g. aGPS works with 3rd party software like GoogleMaps without having VZ Navigator activated. I had an Omnia and was also waiting for the Omnia II but I really wanted global capabilities, and the the Omnia II will be offered with winmo 6.1 not 6.5. Having waited, for what seemed forever, for Verizon and Samsung to offer an upgrade for the original Omnia, I didn't want to wait for a similar upgrade to the Omnia II. As for the Leo, even if it is released sometime this year I wouldn't count on Verizon getting it anytime soon. I would have to agree with others on this forum that a 2010 release is much more probable.
