If you feel differently about the weighting, please say so in your post.

Please post the version number you like (or numbers if you wish to comment on multiples), where it came from (stock ROM for XYZ device on ABC carrier, leaked ROM for XYZ device on ABC carrier, Canal street, Beijing, etc.) and why you like it. Assuming I get more than a few responses, I'll try to keep this first post updated with the summary to spare folks reading the posts - but the reasons why will of course remain in the posts.

I'm starting with the versions I am aware of that folks are cooking with today - will add to this list as necessary.

Votes updated 5:23pm EST 17-Feb

Votes Version
----- 19958/19972 (stock shipped VZW ROM)
----3 20757/20764 (most recent Diamond CDMA shipped ROM)
----1 20757/20954
----1 20765
----1 20931
----1 21009
----4 21013-21015 (possibly illegal or unreleased build with some WM6.5 code)
----- 21109 (possible hex edit)
----1 21139/21143 (WM6.5 - known bugs with camera, for example on CDMA Touch Pro and current OEMs)
----1 21159 (WM6.5)

EDIT 17-Feb - After running with 21015 for a day now, I have to say it seems as fast as 20764. I tried 20954 for a bit but that seemed slower. All three were stable and free of issues. 20764 has a slightly smaller memory footprint. 21015 has a bigger footprint but also some key newer features. So for now, I've changed my 20764 vote to 21015.

I'll cast the first vote by saying I prefer 20757/20764, ripped from the most recent Diamond WWE ROM. I've been running for days now with heavy use and not even a soft reset. But it is an old IE5 version. Reasonably fast though maybe not as fast as 21109.

FWIW, the stock Verizon ROM for TP ships with 19958/19972.

I like 21015 now... Change my vote
