Informational Topic

I hope nobody got mislead by the title, but here goes.
Might it not be a good idea to create a closed(only editable bij mods) sticky topic in which it states what te latest (at least Shipped) ROM's, Radio and EXT ROM's are?
Like most noobs/posters I would like to have the latest version of all device software, but the question about which ones they are, frequently get neglected. By making a sticky topic like I proposed, people can just check out the topic and see what to use.
The topic doesn't need to be edited that much so it could be maintained (I reckon) by the mods.
And may be a description of the format might be handy to note as well
Because , for instance, I don't know what the difference is between:
WWE_11200_550_11200 and WWE_11200_188_11210

I know WWE = WorldWide English
I suppose 188/550 = operator (but which ones?)
And I don't know what the 11200 and 11210 is, cause I thought both were 1.12 ROMs

So to the convenience of frequent posters who get tired of the same questions over and over again, I'd like to recommend that Sticky Topic :)

This is definitely a good idea!

I'm a newbie in this regard (i bought my first magician a week ago) but i think the numbers mean:

WWE: World Wide English (maybe there're also US and UK english)
11200: ROM version
550: External ROM Version
11210: Radio Version

PLS correct me if i'm wrong.

Bye bye,

PS: I wonder where did u (members of this forum) take the 1.13 radio version available on the ftp server. I wasn't able to find a shipped rom version (in any language) including it!!! Did u extract it from another HTC model? Is it better than the default 1.12.10 i found on my Imate Italian ROM? Thanks u all, i love this forum!!! bye[/quote]

I beleive from memory the 1.13 radio was taken from a chinese rom (?). Can't tell you any more than that, sorry. I haven't noticed the awesome differences some people were saying about the newer radio, though. I went from 1.11 rom and radio to 1.11 rom with 1.13 radio and barely noticed a difference. Don't ask me why I didn't go to 1.12 rom, just couldn't be bothered downloading it!

Yes, Bubisch that's exactly what I meant.
