  • I get way too many emails each day (hour, minute, etc.) to have them come to my phone... my average, after spam filters remove almost all spam, is just about 250 per day (mostly during business hours).
  • Whenever I can avoid texting, SMS, MMS, whatever you want to call it, I do. I much prefer to use a phone to talk, and a computer to send an email.
  • I'd like to use my phone to play games, watch movies, listen to music, and call family, friends and business associates. I do also make use of the GPS/Nav functions, and occasionally get online to look something up, though I get annoyed with most sites' mobile versions so not as much as I had hoped to. It has also replaced my watch and alarm clock.
  • I'd like the phone's battery to last as long as possible while I use it, whether it is in my pocket, on a call, or playing a movie or game...
  • I'd like the phone to run smoothly and reliably at all times, with as little maintenance and flashing/updating/etc. as possible.
  • When I have my laptop back, I'd love to use my phone as a modem or wifi router. I don't mind a USB connection, but bluetooth or wireless is nicer...

Thanks!
no twitter, any rom is fine

6.1 has the weakest facebook integration out of all roms

if you dont use email, any rom is fine. I dont think 250 a day is a problem and if it gets to be too much, change your download intervals. an untouched 6.1 is slow browsing through emails. 6.5 is better if you read a lot of emails

any rom is good to talk

any rom for apps

hit and miss for battery

6.1 more reliability, but you can easily make 6.5 as reliable with a soft reset everyday (process can be automated with a number of tools)

custom rom for wifi router; any rom applicable
