Custom ROM builders tend to find ways to improve speed and stability, and their ROMs are usually available long before official ROM updates, and usually much cooler. PPCGeeks Kitchens allow all (well, maybe most) of the stuff you currently installed in User memories to be put in the ROM, saving user space. Also, you can leave out what you don't want, and put only what you want into the ROM avoiding useless VZW programs. You can even include personal info built right into the ROM. Hard resets will not remove programs installed into the custom ROM.

However, the programs to be installed in the ROM need to be in OEM format, not CABs. Fortunately, there are people making these OEMs all the time, and a huge assortment of them are made availabe right in the PPCGeeks Kitchen, where you just click on them to select them for your ROM, and then just a few mouse clicks and you build and flash your own ROM, just the way you want it.

I probably won't get an Omnia if there is a good chance custom ROMs won't be available. Kitchen ROMs cooked the way I like them are just too cool.
