Hahaha.... luckily they sent the phone to another branch. I collected it at their other branch.

p/s: tried to update froyo using MSU, but cannot de. Only have option to update Milestone & XT720. This is for country Malaysia. Do I choose another country or wait somemore...? Or do I have to do something else? Hmmm....

the question is, you really waiting for it?? why not use some of the custom ROMS? i would say, really worth the effort to learn how to flash and all that

LOL.... you are right. But I like to maintain my Defy as stock as possible, meaning using all official ROMs only. at least until I find another phone to replace it. tongue.gif

what do you mean until you find another phone to replace it? if replace liao, then why bother? this is sometimes why i wonder why ppl say Iphone is better. because the only use stock ROMs, so iphone is definitely better. the Iphone experience out of the box is really a wonder, especially when you upgrade from a nokia/SE. i was very amazed as well when i bought the iphone4 for my gf (she had a iphone 2g), and i was so tempted to get one myself. luckily i held my horses and waited for the DEFY (yes, waited!).

got the Defy, used it almost a month plus on stock 2.1, until i got fed up, rooted it, and waited 2 more weeks (cos april liao, though official 2.2 maybe out) until my SD card gave a problem, so had to format it...so i end up, what the heck...since screwed up, might as well go all the way. flashed some 2.2 stock ROM from EU (forgot which one), much better experience, but end up, in less than 2 weeks, i went to LiquidArc, and was a super major upgrade in experience. faster, smoother, much improved battery life...i thought this is as good as it gets, until Quarx came along with his CM7. if LiquidArc was super major upgrade, this CM7 is like the total bomb. i can easily say with CM7, the phone is as good, if not better than the more expensive ip4. now, i'm not interested with my gf ip4 at all, but then again, gotta help her jailbreak her phone soon though, so gotta go and learn some stuffs at the iphone section.

trust me, flash it, and enjoy your NEW phone!

Hmmm... Compelling reasons indeed. Any issues using cm7? This is the only phone I have. The back up phone I have is an ancient motorola v8. And I really don't like using it! I really wouldn't want to revert back to using that phone if possible.

I appreciate your enthusiasm in convincing me that custom ROM is the way to go forward, but there are certain aspects of using a phone which is of more importance to me than they are to you. Cheers brother. I see that eventually, I will get around to doing it. Eventually. wink.gif

I do enjoy reading up on you guys' experience in installing and using custom ROM. keep it up guys. Tonnes of useful information here, which I'm sure I will eventually use.
