newb htc 6800 question

[weeksan]

hey everybody.

Okay I consider myself tech savvy, and what not and i will be getting an HTC 6800 (bell, ontario) in a few days (its the best phone I see that bell offers), and am looking into and building a software database for what I want to use.

Now here is my question (if possible ptu in lay-mans terms cuz im a newb at this).

I am downloading NFSFAN's Custom ROM (is this good?)

and I need to know.
What is kitchen, what is radio?
How do I flash this and put it on?

And as for the 6800.. I have heard mixed things. For the most part I have heard it is awesome, but has a bluetooth issue and a battery problem.

Are any of these true or able to be remedied?
Also are there any other complaints to this? Did I make a good choice?

Thanks.
