my thoughts on the new rom

NEW official Sprint ROM posted on XDA-dev by DCD --- posted by canospam

I installed this new rom last night. it was my first rom i have installed on my touch. very simple to do. process took about twenty to thirty minutes to complete.

Pros:
*Love the WinMo 6.1 and the threaded text messages and the new office "onenote"
*Rev-A is great, seems to work much faster than EVDO in my area
*GPS seems to lock in on my device within seconds. i used it this morning en route to the office and it tracked me flawlessly

Cons:
***TCPMP does not work (the original version), you must find the one that is compatible with 6.1 (you can find it here) http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=30178

***hhc customizer does not allow for the fifth tab (which i normally use for the audio manager) so i lose the ability to play my music from my home screen.


These are the minor issues that i am aware of, and have actually ran into.

Here are questions that i do have for any of you that may be able to answer:

***How much is being charged if any to use gps (with live search, or google maps)?
***I have the $15.00/month unlimited vision plan
***Can we still tether without the extra charges?

so all in all i think that the upgrade is definately worth it. hope this helps some, and hope some can fill me in with my questions. Thanks for all the great work guys
