I installed wm6 and loved it for a few days. After moving a few contacts from work I noticed all my contacts dissapeared. I noticed with the regestry hack with WM5 I was alot hapier with the performance of the phone. Now I just need to make the keys to my phone easier to push. I know theres a program somewhere to do it. I just have to dig through the forums to find the link. WM6 slowed my ppc down to a point but I really like it. I'm sorry I had to move back to WM5 but I use my phone for work and I want reliability and it seems to me that wm5 has that one for now. I really liked WM6s HTC media player that thing was friggn sweet. I cannot find another prog with that today screen functionality.

I love WM6. No problems other then boot screen lockup until I added a safe mode program but no probs since I stopped fiddling with HTC Weather or HTC customizer (don't know root cause).

Runs better then my WM5 stock or Kirvin's C&S without need of overclocking which was a pain in itself. Also, dumped iPhone today screen which also may have messed me up.

I updated the first day it came out. The blue-tooth drop out is anoying. The jury is still out for me.

i love wm6 other than having to kill bluetooth to use it as a usb modem.

Been using it for about week, and I gotta say, I love it! Vast improvement over WM5.

been using it since day one since it came out. initially had to hard reset but ever since the weather plug in disabled its pretty good. less hangups and wm5. speed a bit faster too.
the only problem is a memory leak which slows it down after sum time. like a couple of days. the solution to this is a soft reset which makes it new n good. maybee this memory leak is coz of sum application or inherent that needs to be found. but its running very stable.

actually, one thing i always recommended when i worked at radio shack was that anyone with a sprint phone power cycle it every day. its something i firmly believe in doning. i soft-reset my 6700 every morning when i wake up.
