By the way I have never flashed a custom rom on any of my phones and the only time I have had a problem it was due to hardware failure which can happen on any phone.
No u cant. I believe what he meant was that unlike other OS's windows mobile is the most unstable and slow out the bunch. To be finger friendly/fast and/or stable windows has to be tweaked and/or skinned. You dont see a blackberry,iphone or either of the two webos devices being shipped with a different UI skin. The only reason android is skinned is to make it prettier but its pretty fast/stable and user friendly when shipped stock as well. Unlike the others windows mobile imho needs to be skinned or its basically crap. It isnt really user-friendly out the box like the others. We need sites like ppcgeeks/xda to help stabilize/tweak windows because microsoft is too slow/lazy to do it themselves.
