I am now getting a typical battery life of 2 days, about what I was getting on IHO. I have yet to see a reboot on this rom, and the f/c's have now dropped to just about zero.
I don't use the phone, bluetooth, MMS, or SMS; so I can not judge these aspects. I do use GrooveIP with my Google Voice account, and have had no issues with that at all.
I do use my GPS a bit, and it seems to work fine. I did have a problem with the app Beat the Traffic, but found that as long as I don't upgrade it to version 2.0 it works fine. I believe this to be a problem with the app.
Wireless has be solid for me, and that is a key aspect for this phone, as it only works on wireless.
I use Enhanced Email, which I got for free from Amazon, and have uninstalled Email and Gmail. EE has worked great with every ROM I have tried, connects to my work Exchange account, my gmail and my regular mail with no problems.
I don't play games (mostly because I am terrible at them!), so no judgements there either.
The only thing still outstanding on my list is the camcorder and panoramic camera.
For me, this ROM (CM9 Final) fulfills all of my needs for my phone very nicely, looks good, runs smoothly, generally makes me happy.
Thanks, tdm and all the folks who worked to get this ROM up and running. You are the best!
Ohh, just noticed... I bought this phone one year ago today. Happy birthday!
