So I want to give it to a friend I have in a country with no CDMA network.
He can use it as a Media Player with S2P, Windows Media Player, HTC
Audio Manager or Nitrogen.
I have some questions...
. Is there a way to remove the phone part to get that memory free (the
CDMA phone network is not available...)?
. Which version of WM would you recommend me?
. Is there a custom ROM somewhere for this purpose?
I tried some variants with PPCk-BuildOS but the phone part is always there.
Thank you very much for your help.

Well, I suggest you just put the phone in Airplane Mode(Radio Off).
That way when you restart the device the radio stays off and doesn't get loaded into memory. You can do this by going to commanager and selecting it or you can just hold down the red end key until the radio turns off. It should say phone off and the radio indicator should change to an x. It will stay that way until you change it.
I suggest you use WinMo 6.1 simply because it is lighter and takes less memory to run. 6.5 is prettier in some respects and can be more finger friendly but only in the OS and not necessarily in the apps themselves.
I don't know if there are any ROMs made for this purpose only. The nice thing about the Vogue is it is so customizable that you can do whatever you want with it so I'm pretty sure you won't have trouble setting it up like you want. I suggest S2P, Nitrogen, CorePlayer, and Windows Mobile Media Center for applications. WMMC can be found on xda. It will integrate with Windows Media Player and makes things more finger friendly for playing music and videos. Good Luck!!
