Well, I picked mine up...
Now I need a new case, new headphones, and a new storage card
It's got the old(er) 2.09 rom on it, but it seem ok
Doing a lot of the same tweaks from the 6700 speeded it up nicely
With such a large internal store, looks like a custom rom is less necessary (but I still look forward to the kitchen - seems like there is one (pre) released over at XDA...
Overall, not bad. Still miss the old gray mare.
