Should we be using the new WM6 Rom or is it only for testing purposes? I asked this question in that thread but the question was quickly buried.

If your new to the 6700, I would wait a couple of days. There are a few minor things to be looked at. But The way things are going it shouldnt be a very long wait. If you feel like testing and leaving some feedback that would help.

LOL @ getting buried because I can just imagine how far fogotten it was due to that being such a hot thread.

Anyway, it is for testing. Is is going to have bugs and although im sure plenty have been found before it was released, there are still more there. Well the easiest way to get tem all found is to have a lot of people test it. Helmi says it is not an official ROM and is asking everyone to help test it. So if you want to try to to get a 'feel' for it, then go for it. It is likely not everything wll work for you as the compatabilty to all 3rd party apps is a hard thing to accomplish.

alright, it sounds like a I should wait until it gets more of the bugs knocked out of it.

Does anyone who's tested it know if the A2DP is handled better?

Ill play around with A2DP later and report back to ya.

My bluetooth keyboard and mouse work great.

i cant get my jabra bt650 stereo headset to keep playing. it starts for a couple secs, and just stops.

i suppose it could be the headset, i haven't had it connected to anything else.

Confirmed.

The A2DP is basically broken for now. That said, I have TONS of memery available now
and the phone enjoys a much faster and responsive interface. And, my boot up times
are substantially shorter now.

Honestly I have this thing about being on the bleeding edge of technology. In this case, even more so. So in a sense I'm both testing to see what bugs are present as well as getting a lot of use out of it. There have been a lot of improvements that I've noticed, and they've made the upgrade worthwhile.

This may be considered a "test" but I gotta say, it's very fast, stable, and clean... This is my first experience with a non-standard ROM and I'm loving it!

Once we get a threaded SMS to work, I'll be in heaven!
