I would go with the new Juicy 8, its by far the best Juicy rom to date

neither of these devices are available in CDMA land right now. The TP2 is on the horizon, near term, but the TD2 is nowhere in sight. And there is the Pre.

So do you have a better answer for the question that was actually posed?

(the answer seems to be, adding the Pre, but YES the TP and Diamond *are* still the top doggies in CDMA land... and the Samsung Omnia perhaps... and the Snap, if you like WM/Std...)

I apologize, I misread your question. CURRENTLY your best bets, with the option of total customization... with speed, stability and just plain good looks are going to be the Diamond or Touch Pro (not the Verizon version). The TP2 is nearly here, and the Pre has definitely made it's way to the awesome list... I just don't see that it's going to be as mod friendly as the HTC PPCs.

Sorry I didn't check back until just now. I use my own, which I cooked in Calcu's kitchen with a supplement or two from SOHKis and IndaGroove. I like my roms lean and clean ... and this one built on 21812 is quick and stable. My favorite in recent days is one I cooked a couple of weeks ago, based on 21232. PM me if you would like to chat ...

In my opinion, anything the Iphone can do, the TP can do better and provide a much more customized experience...With Iphone, you can't really do much with roms or radios or stuff like that from what I understand. And the apps have to be bought...most of them are just over-glorified web applets at that...WinMo has sooooo much to be said, and with all the reg edits being found constantly, your options are pretty limitless, and the apps, well, there are several sites for very useful free games and apps....Just keep those in mind if your lookin at the Icrap.....

I enjoy the capabilities of my Diamond, but it doesn't have Pandora. It doesn't have an iTunes remote control. It doesn't have live MLB game streaming. It doesn't have Google earth.

I'm not considering an iPhone, but it's hard to deny that it is a quality device with an enormous amount of useful, functional, high quality apps. Much more so than WinMo.

That said, my next phone will be a Pre
