I decided to try 6.5.1 on VZW over the weekend. Overall, it runs well. Battery life over 2 days not really a good test but seems on par with other roms I've tried. The soft keyboard (in portrait mode at least) pops up fine but I can't get it to minimize unles I touch the top/left portion of the softkey. Otherwise I get the keyboard option menu. It's like the softkey is not skinned correctly to show the options arrow. I haven't tried all the tweaks but I did try to program the softkeys without sucess. I assume the tweaks software is not compatable with 6.5.1. The button app in settings does not reflect the actual button that is programed (for example, the End(Hold) key really programs the favorite (star) key on my keyboard) I still haven't figured out what the send(hold) key is? As far as the 6.5.1 interface is concerned, I'm not sure I totally buy into it, but it's a nice change of pace. I'll probably keep it on for a while since I haven't found any real issues with using the phone. FYI, I haven't tried the MMS fixes but SMS works fine.

Not complaining, just reporting. I know this is a beta version.

Edit: Thought of something else. I don't seem to be able to run opera9.7. The link in the windows/start menu points to the same shortcut as Opera 9.5 (operal.exe). I found a 9.7OperaL.exe in windows but when I run it the help/about says 9.5. (could it be just using the same help file? But then, it really looks the same as 9.5)

Edit2: Also, activesync doesn't sync calendar. Couldn't get mms to work with fix cab (I couldn't get it to work on 6.5 either).

Edit3 (final): I can now get into opera 9.7 using the shortcut from the start menu folder. Not sure why I couldn't do this before!

Also, I only run with manilla
