Are there any pros/cons to flashing rom?(i am a noob and dont know about flashing, but read a bit about it.) I just dont want my phone to be messed up in the end and not able to use it. Please, i need help [:

well speed is a first when i think of flashing a rom. a lot easier to customize also. i remember when i was adding tweaks to my alltel rom they wouldnt work but they did on a custom rom. also for verzion people they usually lower the pagepool to make it faster. most custom roms are set to 16mbs but because of verzion tp's need all the space they can get some people lower it. dont listen to this but i think i read on here that unlocking the phone also made it go faster BUT i dont believe that. another thing is a custom rom usually has the newest version of windows mobile which is nice. my stock alltel rom had a old version and i had more problems with that one than the custom roms i run.

thanks psycho_maniac. when i do get it from ebay i will have it done [: all i need are the steps to doing so because like i said earlier, this is my first time and i do not want to screw up. do i have to activate this phone first and have it ready to use when adding custom rom?

yes and I would recommend craigslist first before you try ebay. buying local is ALWAYS better.
