cooked wm6 really worth it?

[Sirgatory]

Okay well i'm not so sure about this whole 'upgrading' process.

people say wm6 is a significant speed increase from wm5. is this true?

my at&t 8525 out of the box ran and still runs like a charm since I got it on christmas. whenever I am loading an application or process of any type. its quite speedy. when I change the screen orientation, it beats my friend's tilt. as well as my friends cingular 8125 with a cooked faria's wm6 rom. so even though I l like the UI of wm6, I still need a little convincing to move me away from my at&t wm5 with spb pocket 4. any input?

p.s - my first topic typed from my hermes =)

try it yourself. we all have different experiences, thus us telling you our experience might confuse you even more.

that's what I was hoping for. more opinions to confuse me and make me think :)

My experience with this blasted thing is don't fix what aint broke. If it's running how you like it, leave it be :)

There's nothing really wrong with WM5, I used it on my old XDA Exec (HTC Universal) while I had it and I liked it.

WM6 is an improvement though in my opinion as it has more options, better web browser, and the whole thing looks prettier to the eye. It's also meant to be quicker than WM5, and being the latest operating system for Pocket PC mobiles it seems silly not to upgrade.

That said, I found the whole upgrade thing a little confusing at 1st and I wasn't aware of the terminology. I advise reading the forums for a little ut and asking questions on anything your unsure of beforeyou attempt to flash your phone.

By the way, Windows Mobile 6.1 has just started comming out now as cooked roms, so if youupgrade you might want to try a version of that. I'm running CRC's WM6.1 version 6 and so far I'mpretty happy with it!:D

i personally think wm6 is not meant for 8525, i've tried most of the popular benchmarked wm6 roms and they all seem sluggish compared to my original ATT wm5 rom.... well maybe because bad processing speed that is one of my biggest pet peeves when it comes to phones.

other than that, wm5 does look prettier and im sure those roms have the latest radios, bluetooth drivers, etc.
