1. Overall reviews from people of MAJOR Pro's/Cons with this phone?

2. Performance upgrades/mods etc that will improve significantly the function and process of the phone?

3. Any additional info tips, etc that anyone would like to share or consider important?

i know there are tons of mods etc of stuff ppl have done ive looked on youtube as well but would like to hear some from the people on here as its more credible. as far as performance there are alot of things to look at and it is a bit overwhelming for someone thats only rooted an ascend/flashed icarus on it.. big step between that to this IMO.

hope to narrow this down

There's not much you can do right now without root. If you read the various forums though I'm saying you can see some of the issues people are having and watch how the solution process is unfolding right now (being such a new forum). Of course other users might have more information to offer!
