Len, The ROM upgrade to WM6 is not an iffy upgrade, it is fully supported and the software was released by HTC/AT&T. It wasn't some hack released by questionable sources (although plenty of those were around prior to the real release, and probably still are). I upgraded mine months ago and have had no issues with the device and I do prefer WM6 to WM5.

For the most part been very happy with it. Lately I have been using the phone more and have been running out of battery during the day and having to throw it on a charger someplace - either in the car or on the laptop at a client site. The bluetooth headset is pretty stable but the phone shuts it off occasionally so that is mildly annoying at times. I do use the MS apps from time to time and that is a good fit. My biggest complaint is the ActiveSync fails on a regular basis and I have to delete the pointers that link them and start the whole sync process over again. I ran Palm stuff for over 10 years and never had sync problems - digitizer problems yes - but never sync issues. I received a text recently indication that I could upgrade to WM6 from the WM5 that came with my 8525. Indications are that it is a one-way trip and that if it fails you have to send it in to get it restored. Any truth to that? Has anyone done that upgrade or is there a better way. WM5 has been fine and I haven't learned of any items in WM6 that make me in a hurry to do an iffy upgrade. Just my couple of pennies.

I almost switched to AT&T from Verizon until I realized that their 3G and Edge networks are not on the same platforms. This from what I hear from other AT&T users is the main reason sooo many experience dropped calls. How much this is true I'm not sure, I just didn't want to take any chances so I stayed with VZ and chose what I thought was the next thing to the Treo, the VX6800. IMO: The iPhone is appealing but the timing for me sucks. I run a lot and have a nano so one of the appealing features of the iPhone is being able to use the NikeID, have music, and now sync with Exchange. The down side is not being able to use my MS apps, etc. If they, Apple, market this and other new features right they could be very successful at reaching not only the RIM but also most of us so called die hard mobile users.
