wow im surprised i like the moto cliq, but i guess i might stay away from future motorola phones, i got burned by htc so kind of didnt want to go that way but i guess g1 is ok, though the cliq is like improved g1 just wish it has as big of a keyboard and that .1" screen which you cant really tell lol
either way ill be sticking with devices i can flash custom roms that get rid of bloated stuff and can make improvements after the manufactur desides to ditch the device even if its fully capable of running new os...
locked ROMS are like if you had windows installed and you couldnt change things around and only d/l software that was at an app store, i think u would get pretty pissed off quick
or its like trying to run a embedded os on your desktop
its been proven time and time again that custom roms rock or have the potentional vs stock, i have yet to see someone make custom rom that fails and stock is better LOL
