2) I also read some bugs in this thread but what is the overall verdict on the FLAME are you guys happy with it? I don't care much for WM6 although it would be nice. The FLAME is like an DELL x50v on steroids and with a phone. I use to own a x50v and loved it but wished it had phone capabilities.
3) How is the phone quality and is the call volume loud? Does the other end hear themshelves talking when put on speakerphone?(currently experiencing this with my ETEN M600+)
4) Just how bad is the battery life? I thought my DELL x50v's battery life was very bad is it worst than that? Will it last if I played 2hrs of video with screen brightness at medium?
I just don't want to be disappointed...

Very similar to my/my posts a couple of posts ago :-)
1} I'm also in Toronto on Rogers and the reception is good. Its not quiet as good as other HTC's I have had, but during my testing it has only missed 1 call. Sometimes at work downtown I get 1 or no bars, but if I get a call during those time its still usable so it works well enough.
2} It does have some issues, at least for me, but I am still trying to hammer them out. My Carkit is a huge problem, but my GPS is working totally fine. I only care for WM6 (or Rom updates in general) just in the hopes they fix some of the problems up, (cause this current build has problems)
3} The phone quality is a little quieter then an HTC it seems, but usable, (none of these devices are "great" phones really) but I would say completely acceptable.
4} My battery life is pretty good. I would say by the end of a day its about 60%, and I have the display at 100% and the CPU on performance (524Mhz). I listen to music on the train ride in, watch videos on the train ride back, always have bluetooth on (but not WIFI, it seems to be a massive drainer), so I would say its similar to my Prophet or Magician, maybe a little worse, but as long as you charge nightly you should be fine.
