And I've had WM6.1 running on my tilt for at least 6 months.

Too little, too late. I've moved on to an iPhone 3G and can't be happier.

I hear battery life with the packaged radio isn't great so I'll probably stick with my current one. Other than that it's supposed to be pretty snappy though. For now I'll wait on a cooked rom with improved video performance and a better bundle of apps so I don't have to dig all those out of my archives. One thing I am curious about and haven't seen any posts about- is the camera REALLY improved or not?

Yeah, it all made sense especially if you have that phone. Right now my PTT is assigned to my contacts list using a cooked rom.

Yes, it means that you can now reasign the push-to-talk button to use it for something else. This was one of the things you couldnt do without altering the registry before.

Hence the reason why you use a cooked ROM. Much faster than this one will ever hope to be, no bloatware from ATT

if you flash this rom, and push the reset button before the "customizing your device in three seconds" window comes up, the rom will load all the htc and windows mobile stuff, but not the ATT "bloatware". You'll have to input your internet settings to browse, however.

Yeah...me too, wonder why an 'official' release took so long. I feel bad for all the randoms that have been using 6 all this time...well, maybe not bad.

Are you sure this is accurate? According to TiltSite "it is NOT the new 6.1 ROM update but the older version from 1/17/08."
