I started 'flashing' with my PPC6700 (sounds like a need for group therapy). it was very scary and when things didn't go well, I stressed quite a bit. I skipped the TP1 and Diamond generation, but got back in with the TP2. As soon as the unlocker was available I made the jump (after a week or so, to let the first adopters hit the major issues). I know people that don't flash, and wouldn't flash. They think I'm insane for constantly messing with my phone, at a deep level. It's a hobby and I really really like being out on the edge a little. This is a very safe way to do that. Don't feel like you have to change from stock, but don't hesitate either, if that's your inclination. Like I saw above, you've got lots of support here. Read read and read some more. Use the search, here and over at the XDA Developers forums. Also sometimes search on Goolge with PPCGeeks or XDA in the search string. I find that method to be a little more forgiving of inexact search parameters sometimes. Anyway, whatever you do, enjoy your TP2. It's a MARVELOUS phone and fun toy.
