Re: Waiting to get Imagio until the SPL unlocker is released

From the amount of posts on this forum, just way to many hacks/workarounds needed to get the phone to work like it should. If we could clean up the ROM provided by Verizon with this phone or better - build our own or use one from NFSFan, then I could justify getting this phone.

On the other hand, it seems there are no immediate plans for a SPL release and with a looming Droid release, should I even wait for this? I know and am comfortable with WM6.5 but this phone's ROM seems so junked up that the WM experience is diluted. I just don't want to go through the same issues as I had getting my XV6900 to the "perfect" build. Is it worth it to wait for an SPL unlocker on this phone?
I agree, I haven't run a stock OS in a very long time and while this is dramatically better than anything before it, and is very usable, it does need tweaked ROMS to speed it up. If I knew for sure (100%) there would be no unlocker I would most likely either go back to a TP2 or more likely try Android. However I'll keep telling myself one day it'll be unlocked and NFSFan will decide to make a ROM for it or they'll be a GUI kitchen I can use like the old days.
