What's the point?
Just curious... Educate me please!
I have been watching these forums ever since I got my Verizon Imagio last Nov (09).
I got caught up in the hype of waiting for the HSPL, and the ability to unlock my phone, and checked back daily for the big news. The day finally came, and I held back...
In the meantime, I updated my phone to Verizon's latest version, too chicken to reflash my phone.
I have now been watching all the posts about the latest and greatest ROMS/kitchens/etc, and have noticed a few underlying themes:
1) There is always an issue with an application (or several)
2) You become dependant on the next release, and are at the mercy of the so-called "chef" to prepare a new ROM to fix all the problems not tested for in the first place
3) Your phone may become a brick if the chef isn't paying attention
What I have experienced with my STOCK Imagio with the Verizon update:
1) Stability
2) Memory consistently hovers around 56% when nothing running except for Sense, and 70-87 with 1-10 apps open
3) Never crashed yet
4) Apps work as advertised (even the new Bing with voice installed and is running with no problem)
5) SMS/MMS messages work without issues
6) No tweaks to the registry are needed
So that brings me to my subject: What's the point?
