One of the really great things about GSC is they don't cripple the phones features and add fees for something the phone was designed to do. Would not flashing to a Verizon based ROM result in loosing some of the features/capabilities we currently have? Also, is not Version's GPS an aGPS "assisted" and require fees along with access to Verizon's towers? While we can roam with Verizon, I wonder if accessing the other features from verizon will result in additional fees. Is your "understanding" of the carrier base for the ROM being US Cellular pretty certain?
Thanks!

timm9,
interesting that we're both getting different answers regarding which variant the GSC 6800's are. After asking about it, i was told it was the US Cellular 6800.
I can't speak much to the GPS stuff, right now my main focus has been to educate myself on how the data syncing works and how to deal with data-related problems after doing a rom (custom or otherwise) upgrade. I want to be 100% sure that I know what i'm doing if i were to flash the 6800.
I'm with you regarding the fact that GSC doesnt seem to cripple their 6800, the drawback is their phones just have that old moldy 6.0 rom on them. I'm beginning to think that a custom rom would be the way to go, i just need to do more research on the radios and stuff (things that i dont know enough about yet).
