Advice

Hey,

I'm new to the forums and after browsing through the ROM's section I am slightly confused. I have a Telus HTC touch pro 2, and would like to upgrade to WM 6.5, but as everyone probably knows it is unavailable from Telus in Canada.

Basically, I what I would like to do, is update my phone to the most "improved" and stable version, and reduce the amount of crap taking up memory on my phone. I'm sure its probably just windows running over a dozen useless background applications that accounts for the lack of memory.

Biggest things that irritate me about my touch pro 2:
-Using IE, insane text lag typing in web addresses or other text.
-Random (but somewhat rare) freezing that requires the battery to be pulled
-slowness switching between applications and browsing menus
-older text messages display a date, but no time


In your opinion, whats a good OS version, and what type of ROM will allow me to run my phone with more available memory?
Thanks in advance
