Ok, so I won't have the phone until tomorrow afternoon. I've got some time to think this over and I've come up with two options...
A) I can use that old version of the DCD rom and radio that is located here...
http://www.phonenews.com/how-to-add-...00-titan-2663/ Yes, it is old, but so what? Despite the fact that I could upgrade frequentely like a lot of you do, I don't really want or need to, I just want that GPS and Rev A EVDO.
B) I can give that DCD 3.1.2 or 3.0.4 rom a shot again. It's newer and seems to be the popular one, but once again, I personally don't have a need to upgrade a lot. The GPS is important, but I'm going to be using my Laptops or Desktops far more often than this phone (I see the XV6800 as a substitute for when nothing else is available), so maybe I can stick with the older, more simpler version.
On a side note, when I get this new phone I have to call Verizon to activate it. Should I call and activate it on the stock rom and then call back a second time and get my new a key for when I upgrade to whatever rom I choose...or...should I just upgrade the rom and radio right away when I get it and then call Verizon and activate it for the first time on a new, non-stock rom. I'm leaning towards the first choice just to be safe, but if you guys have any objections please say so.
Any advice at the point would be much appreciated. Thanks again for the help.
