Cool, I now have the weekend to look forward to and a Rom update as well.

If it's true, it'll give me a chance to clear out the cobwebs on my Mogul and start fresh again...

Oh an I must say having the built in GPS is nice I do a lot of driving for work so it comes in handy and means I don't have to use my BlueTooth GPS unit causing more power drain.

How are u getting OZ to work, im using DcD's latest rom and i still get the md5 error....

I use Sprite Backup for Apps and PimBackup for contacts, notes, and other user data.

Sprite is commercial, PimBackup ( 2.8 ) is Free. I suppose you could use PimBackup for everything, cutting out Sprite but I've never tried it.

I use both to backup to the flash card. Sprite has the added capability, that I use every so often, to backup wirelessly via WiFi to an FTP server. Nice.

Doesn't Sprite backup the PIM data as well?

I thought it did and supposed to also handle OS updates as well but I can tell you first-hand, from the 2.09 -> 2.17 update experience, that it does not.

Good thing I had my contacts and notes saved via ActiveSync. Sprite handled the Apps OK but ended up faulting somewheres along the restore process.
Sprite handles backups and restores quite well, no PIM data however, as long as the OS has not changed.

I use SPB backup and it's great, doesn't backup sms messages I don't think but personally, that's not an issue for me.

I just created an account to somewhat validate this.

Last week I was on a plane up to Seattle and it turned out the girl next to me works for HTC. I showed her my phone and the hacked rom and then explained how much I love it. About mid flight she opened up her outlook and showed me an email that she had that said specifically that this rom would be released March 4th or 5th. She then said, it would probabbly be pushed back a week but to keep checking the site the first 2 weeks of March and that they're not going to budge on this. Apparently there were some memory leaks that have now been fixed which is what took this so long to release.
