Upgrade from 8125?

---

I am looking at the announcements about the 8525 getting released by the end of November and I am contemplating upgrading from my 8125 but I have a few questions?

1. What sort of customized ROMS are out there? On my 8125 I am running an 2.26 by summitter that is fast and reliable. I just upgraded to the 2.47 radio ROM and am very pleased so far.

2. Do tweaks/programs for the 8125 work on the 8525? I am thinking of registry wizard, smartskey, today screen plugins for picture speeddials, etc?

3. Is the added processor speed really worth it?

4. How much of a pain is this silly proprietary headset jack?

5. Anyone know what the roll-out schedule for HSPDA on Cingular is?

6. anything else worth knowing before switching

1. Nothing like that yet, that I have heard of. You could install the HTC ROM, which I've found to suit my purposes best. I've tried the Cingular and iMate ROMs on my TyTN.

2. I don't know.

3. It runs Skype without a problem, but aside from that I don't do a lot of processor-intensive stuff.

4. I don't use headsets or listen to music through earphones on my phone.

6. UTMS coverage seems good in my city, but I constantly drop calls. It sucks.
