Ditto that last remark. From what I understand, 6.5.3 is the first iteration with a bottom Start Menu (which I kinda like).

As for AV, it's still pretty rare to find PPC viruses out in the wild and I'm not sure any potential performance degradation right now is worth installing AV, especially in the space-hobbled TP2s. That said, were you to pick up some sort of malware on your phone, having AV on your phone or computer (should you sync) is no guarantee you'll be safe, as most security software will have a hole here or there. Of course AV isn't a bad thing, but following best practicies is also key.

Re: Trend Micro - ah, I remember the days when that was a top-notch AV. How the mighty have fallen.
