I had to try reaaaaallly hard not to flash back to a 2.1 ROM sometimes on the old 2.5 stuff, I love 2.5 but I'd get so frustrated with crashes and SLOWWWW downs. I must say, with the new 2011, I've only had ONE manila crash, right after I flashed it. Since then smooooooth sailing. I've always used HTC messages too, no matter how buggy cuz I love the interface, new one...WOW is all I have to say, night and day. The myths are true! 2011 is FAST! Anyone who says otherwise hasn't disabled weather animations on the homescreen like a real man...
