When that rom was first released I was so excited! Finally got GPS! I added the .dll files that would turn on GPS and was amazed to see it work... The problem was it would take up to 10 minutes to get a lock. When I want GPS, I want it now. I know I could go out and spend $200 and have my own unit, but aren't we trying to consolidate everything down to one? That's why I wanted the 6800. I could have a phone and GPS all in one.
Once I got the balls, I decided to flash a custom rom... What I noticed with the GPS from that point on, was that I was locking in about 30 sec. to a minute! The scary part is unlocking boot loader. Once you accomplish that you never have to mess with it again and from there on flash away. Get board with WM and want an iphone? It's yours! Get board with that and want to make your 6800 a touch, done... Another thing, most of the Roms out there have GPS enabled, come with WM6.1 and have Threaded SMS! Cody SMS Threader is OK... It served it's purpose, but I do enjoy the WM SMS threader!
Really though if you have reservations about flashing a custom rom head over to
