Hey Taurus, in regards to finding Verizon specific 6700 stuff, there are a couple of reasons:
1. # of PPC6700 owners (Sprint, Alltel, etc..) is much greater than vx6700 owners (Verizon).
2. Almost any hack you can do to a PPC6700 you can do to the vx6700. Same phone, same OS, just different carriers. So maybe PCS vision and some SMS stuff may not work, but most others should.
3. Verizon didn't load a ton of crap onto their phones (at least not as much as Sprint did). So it's not that intrusive on the memory as with the Sprint version.
4. Verizon came out with AKU 2.2 around the end of June 2006. Sprint uses have gone without that update for almost 5 months before something got released, which is quite an incentive for PPC6700 owners to work on these custom roms.

To possibly get fustrated at the "PCS community" for not answering your questions or supporting your device isn't justified. Frankly, I was very surprised that WideAwake posted all the different carrier-specific roms as he did considering he is a Sprint user (I believe).

BTW, I am a Verizon customer and haven't really had any problems finding the answers I'm looking for in regards to my phone. If you had a question and it didn't get answered then maybe post it in the other forums (like listed earlier and howardforums.com). With so many messages, it just might take a while for the right person to read it in the right forum.
