a few newbie questions

[dhodson]

I have sprint and just switched over to their sero plan and have the ppc6700 coming this week. I was originally going to wait until the 6800 came out but my phone stopped working and had to call retentions sooner. I am a novice to smart phones and dont completely understand all the options for my new phone.

I understand that i likely will need a few extra batteries for this thing and was wondering if they are all the same off ebay or should i be looking for something in particular.

I was told that the web surfing prg that comes on the ppc6700 isnt that good. what is recommended. i dont mind paying for it if it is a good deal better than the free stuff.

I plan to eventually watch tv on it via slingbox or movies that i convert and will likely need a new miniSD card. Is there a speed or brand that is superior?

I dont quite get what the special ROMs here give you in terms of options that are superior to the installed or company produced. a brief comment on what makes them much better would be great

thanks for listening.
