How Stable is 6.5

I have tried 6.5 a few times in the past and It has been nothing but problems for me on my Verizon TP. I have used SSK 6.5 roms and was wondering how Stable 6.5 has become and how close to final is it?

I have been using 6.5 for months I wont go back to 6.1 I just cant I am running Merdins ROM now but I keep a copy of Jucys latest around just in case I have issues I know Jucys ROM is stable and fast. Most of the latest 6.5 runs are very stable and fast if you haven't tried is a while I would say give it a shot.

I think it was about 2 months ago the last time I tried 6.5. the biggest issues were the battery was horrible and it was very sluggish. AS a verizon user should I stick with ssk or can I try something else

6.5 is stable and actually is finally done. ppcgeeks doesn't have a final released version but once they do we will start cooking. The builds we do have a very stable and work great, your problem is that you have a verizon tp. The verizon tp has less ram and actually doesn't have enough ram to fully support 6.5 That is why you ran into problems with your last 6.5 roms.

6.5 is the way to go...

to me, stable means that all programs will run on it. So 6.5 is not stable enough for me.

ok....6.5 has being pretty stable for me...but I dont know what software you run so for me its good. Battery life for me has been a lot better but obviously when the chef's get the official release..things will get alot better.

I have been running 6.5 SSK roms for a while now, at least a couple months... I set my PP to 16 I believe on my verizon Gimp Pro. system is stable, responsive, batt life is good, runs everything I want... all in all it made my gimp pro useable again.

A little off topic, but for those of you running 6.5, have you found a way in outlook to display more messages in the message list at once? With 6.1 and earlier, I'd show 12-14 messages on screen (2 lines per message), but with 6.5, while there's still 2 lines per message, there's a ton of extra white space after the subject line for each message. This puts only 6 or so messages on screen.
