NRGZ28, I would like to thank you and all of the other chefs for your great work! I have tried all of the ROMs since March 17. I decided to stick with the 21895 Cookies Mar 17 ROM for now because it is the only one that runs iDialer with Google Voice callback and PortSip, which are critical for me, and has all of the eye candy that I love.

I had an experience today that I wanted to share with everyone. I was at my friend's house who owns a HTC Droid Eris. He wanted me to help him tether his Eris to his laptop (he is a little computer illiterate....obviously). While I was doing this, I took the opportunity to show off my Imagio and the great new ROM I have. I was showing him how fast and great it was, but to my surprise he wasn't impressed. This is because he showed me how his phone with the same hardware specs (Processor, ROM, and RAM) was faster than my Custom ROM phone. I was shocked!!!! I am not sure why this is. Is Android OS really that much better than WM?

Because of this enlightening experience, I have to ask you and all of the other chefs out there a question. Is it possible to make an Android ROM to put on our Imagio? I know that there have been people working on porting over the Android OS to boot with Haret on the Imagio, but it still lacks functionality. I would really love to have an Android OS now that I have experienced its superiority over WM, and especially because of the Google Voice native apps for the Android.

Having said all of that, I realize that my current observation may be totally wrong. Please let me know what you all think. Is WM better than Android?

PS: I switched to Linux Ubuntu last year and just got Virtual Box to run Windows XP seamlessly, so I am never going back to a full Windows OS on a desktop or laptop.

There are some posts here about booting Android on the Imagio but from what I read I think this is just putting the OS on top of Windows Mobile so it's not flashing the phone in the same manner. I don't know if this can be or has been done yet, someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

I am using one of the latest NRG ROMs which I love. My question is, I am based in NYC and am going to Portugal for 10 days on thursday. I know the Imagio can work as a world phone, but by using an NRG rom will that effect it in any way. Also do I need to go to Verizon Wireless first to set up the global capabilities of my Imagio or will it work right away. How do I know what the SIM card number is on my phone?

I am having data trouble as well. Did the Verizon provisioning, went in and added the username & password and still not working. I then have to manually go and turn the data connection on in the comm manager, but for some reason, it keeps turning itself back off.

But even while it is "on", when I try to use Opera, IE, or anything requiring data (You Tube, Google Maps, etc.) they don't connect. The strange thing is, if I click on the status bar, it shows me connected to Verizon Wireless with the timer running!

SO, I tried just using my WiFi connection in my house - same results. Shows I'm connected in the status bar, but no data for programs.

I'm confused - any suggestions? Thanks...

It should work as long as you pick Global in Network settings of the phone. Your number that you use now is embedded on the SIM card, so its not a different number. Beware though VZW is going to charge you anywhere from .99 to 1.49 per minute to make international calls.
