0Gravity (and others), thanks for great replies! As 0Gravity said, it WAS super easy. I followed instructions to unlock my phone. Sweating bullets, 30 seconds later it was done. Phone still worked!

Alright, time to throw caution to the wind (I just got paid right?), lets try a custom ROM. I just had to hardrest the other day so I have nothing on my phone really. Well I'll try Mighty Rom. Ran the .exe on my computer, everything transfered... done.

Wow, that was super easy. Like... Installing MS Office on my desktop was harder.

Overall, I am liking what I'm seeing of WinMo6.5 + mighty rom. I turned on TF3D and messed around with that. Surprisingly I do not like it. The whole "black and white" theme kinda threw me. Which gets to a small point I wanted to ask... is there anyway to change the Task Bar in WinMo6.5 to something other than black and white? I feel like I am on an old Dell Axiom or something running the first version of Windows CE.

Just like it took me a while to get used to a smart phone when I first got it (and usually I pick up new hardware/software pretty quickly too!), this may take a little while. For the next few weeks, I am not running anything mission critical on it incase I want to flash it again (now that I see how easy it is) or if it crashes.

Also one last question, previously the Icons at the top used to show my data connection with a 2way arrow and the number of "bars." If the connection was idle, the arrows were gray. If the connection was being used, they were filled white. Now the arrows remain filled white. Did they just remove that feature or is my connection running the whole time (and thus I have about 2 hours of battery life left?).

I hope I am not hijacking my own thread. But again, thanks for all the help! (thanks have been distributed accordingly!)
