Exclamation Verizon first-time Noob - missing anything?

I'm technical by nature but not with phones.

My goal for flashing a ROM initially was because I want Internet Connection Sharing so I can hook up my Verizon XV6800 easily to any laptop and use it tethered for data access while I'm at a coffee shop, etc. When i found out I could actually have GPS access, etc. I was thrilled.

So I just wanted to share the 4 links for 'guides' I have found so far and let me know if there is any other reading I should do or pitfalls to be aware of as a Verizon user that might not be in these guides, otherwise this seems like an exciting project (if not scary at the same time).

Great community BTW! and P.S. although the Verizon Quick guide seems the best, I know I'll need to read every bit of each article to make sure I understand any implied or gotcha scenarios.

So anything I'm missing or need to know before I set off on my journey?
