Adds Features, fixes bugs, (sometimes adds different bugs), but in my experience, custom ROMs are more reliable than the stock ROM, AND there are people CONSTANTLY working to improve them.

The new radio and custom DCD ROM add GPS functionality, so you can use your phone as a GPS......It also uses Windows Mobile 6.1, which isn't yet available through any carriers stock ROM.

If you use a "kitchen" to "cook" your ROM, then you can choose features and applications to be installed when you flash. These are installed in the ROM, not RAM, so they do not take up storage space that the applications would use when installed using the normal method.
