Brent,
Can you tell VZW not to put so much crapware in their ROMs?

I have used it (no - I can't send it to you - don't ask) and switched back to 6.1
That is how buggy it was.
No ETA on a new build.
I check my internal sources everyday for updates.
Just as frustrated as all of you.
Thanks for the heads up. I look forward to the new rom.

I'm happy Verizon is willing to update the pre-6.5 released phones at all.

Be well Brent.

I think Ozone users are looking for this: RUU_Chief_W_WM65_VZW_WWE_2.16.605.15, that's the official WM6.5 upgrade for the Ozone, I will upload it.

Default Report on the VZW ROM above...

Hey Folks,
Coming over to Win Mobile from the Blackberry side and just picked up my Ozone a couple of weeks ago. I always had luck flashing my Berries with leaked ROMS so I figured I'd give it a whirl here too

Keep in mind that I am not the power user that most of you guys are!

The flashing process itself was pretty quick and painless. No bumps along the way there - I just followed the instructions of the installer.

Speed is pretty good so far although it seems to be a hair more laggy than 6.1. It has not been detrimental to using it so far though.

Stability seems really good. I think that VZW is coming down to the final version of the 6.5 upgrade and this release shows it.

Program compatibility - Internet Explorer's viewability is messed up and has been useless to me since the upgrade. I have been using Skyfire instead for my default browser. (BTW, IE does have an Active X toggle in its menus - I have tried it on and off but didn't see a difference). Also, Calendar 2 from SBSH has problems with repeating dates on 6.5 for some reason. I have seen no other issues beyond those 2 programs.

Changes? Honesty, I don't see much so far...It says 3g instead of EVDO on the network indiactor icon, there is a basic customize homescreen program included, there is a MS App store download icon included.

Bottom line: I'll continue to use this ROM (well I am kind of forced too since I don't have a stock 6.1 to revert to LOL) until the officall release (and again, I think they are getting pretty close). However, those of you with 6.1 don't feel like you are missing out on anything but NOT trying this one out...I really don't see that many improvements at all. I am kind of underwhelmed actually.

Hope this is a help!

Thanks, very cool. Going to flash as soon as my battery charges ;)

Hate to be picky, but can you upload it to another site (mediafire, megaupload, etc.) as rapidshare is "overwhelmed" and I can't get the file. If not, no biggy.

Just upgraded to this rom. Been having an issue where the phone likes to go from programs to the home screen a lot. Happens across all programs. An example is loading up skyfire once the loading bar gets to about 100% the phone goes to the home screen. The programs don't fail or anything, but it's a really annoying problem. Anyone else having this issue?
