yeah, despite the cons I listed above, unless you're a total whiner ('cause nobody wants to help a whiner) you should upgrade. ROMs built off of Helmi's 1.04 will make you fall in love with your 6700 again. If nothing else, you won't want a 6800 unitl they have a kitchen!
And it realy is super easy.
There are some tough things you need to know before you start though:
- who's your carrier? (if you don't know perhaps you should stop now)
what version bootloader do you have? (If you don't know, press and hold the cassette key, the power key, and the reset button all together until the screen goes dark (about 2 secs). Now read the hard to read version on the bottom of the screen. Press Reset to exit bootloader)
Do you have about 450MB of free disk space? (make it so, number one)
Do you know how to back up your PIM stuff? (synchronize...you'll lose whatever you don't store somewhere else)
Have you backed up everything of any importance on your PPC? (copy is your friend...and an SD card is really handy)
Do you use and know how to configure your email account? (if you need certificates or IT support, now's a good time)
Do you have the serial numbers of all your purchased apps? (get ready to reinstall all you stuff and personalize everything again)
Do you know how to clear Memory? (hold in both softkeys (the keys with the '-'s on them) and the reset button (about 2 secs) Use the keyboard to answer the question)
yep, that's it. Don't go crazy including things on your first attempt - stick with the defaults (plus required selections like your carrier) a time or two so you know what success looks like.
May the Force be with you.
