What version of WinMo is aku3.3?
You really think doing the BuildOS isn't too complicated?
Is there some kind of guide to get me thru it the first time? After that I'll be an old hand at it!! lol
I had a 6700 a couple of years ago and then got a 6800. I got a good deal on a 6700 (but it is a sprint version) so I am going to go back to that as the 6800 is giving me issues right now.
Thanks so much for your guidance!!

AKU 3.3 is WM5. I think it is the most up to date stock WM5 ROM for the 6700. I use BuildOS because once you use WM6.1, it sucks going back to WM5. WM6.1 runs fast, stable, and the threaded sms is something I LOVE about the OS.
BuildOS is easy to use, the stickies outline some of the finer points and how to recover. The BuildOS release thread can be found
here.
Download BuildOS and install it. When it runs for the first time, it will launch the updater. Select the Apache packages and it will get the packages for you. While you're at it, you may as well get the packages for your 6800 too (ROM flashing is addicting!). Once you have all the packages, you basically select your carrier, bootloader version, and check boxes for what you want to put in the ROM. NOTE: the most common issue with BuildOS is users trying to cram too much stuff in the ROM. Start with the basics, things you know you will NEED. Once you get more familiar with it, you can try to pack it to the gills if desired.
If something does somehow manage to go wrong, don't freak. The 6700 is very difficult to brick. With the info on this forum almost any 6700 can be recovered. I know this from personal experience (I tried to brick one on purpose).
