Default Which rom - business purposes

Hi everybody, just got the HTC Desire (gsm) with Froyo 2.2 and Im looking for a clean,stable,fast rom with long battery life. It will be primarily used for calls/corporate mail (notes) and a bit of browsing. Can you recommend something since I don't have the time to test all the roms to see what would fit.

Thanks a bunch.

If I am the IT administrator of a company, I wouldn't be allowing any rooted phones corporate access. That phone would be locked shut.

GingerWally 1.5 - fits in Data++ partition so you have a lot more space for apps. No bloatware, you do not need ext partition and it does not support a2sd so the rom is super stable + some under the hood tweaks like edited script because of rosie restarts so no more restarts with this rom (you know when you do not have enough ram because you are multitasking and the sense interface restarts - thats because the priority is set low). For maximum stability this is the rom I will anytime suggest even over the stock rom!!

I'm also using my Desire for business (and pleasure ofcourse. ). Untill today I have been very happy with Runnymede AIO (CM7/r2 and "XADSD2X") but the last couple of days I have experienced lock-ups when receiving calls... and a lot of lag.
GingerWally sounds like the perfect ROM Thank you for your advice.

If you searching for "old" android 2.1, Leedroid 2.3d served me very well for almost a half year, so 2.5 should be even better.

You can try stock rooted gingerbread, or maybe insertcoin

Maybe you can ask if you're allowed to flash a custom rom and try this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1315961
Or you can ask if your boss flash it for you
