Yes, a ROM is a new image for the phone, complete with operating system, ring tones, anything the creator decides to put in it.

Start --> Settings --> System Tab (bottom) --> About

Will list the version of Windows Mobile at the top (i.e. Windows Mobile 6 Professional)

My experience is mostly flashing and some bricking (lol) of wireless routers. never a phone before. got some step by step instructions... seem pretty basic. But my concern is sprint rom on alltel or does the carrier not make a difference?
I know I have seen some ROM updates and kitchens available for Alltel, but I cannot tell you for sure how they are working as I am with Sprint. Check these out:
