thanks for the input guys ...
i am really not a fan of loading an 'aftermarket' rom because i really cannot be sure that it is as true to the real thing as possible. but this is the only way i'll be able to get rid of motoblur which i do not want.
can some of you tell me, is this rom stable ? will i have any freezes, missed calls that don't ring on the phone, other odd or not intended behavior ? i really don't need problems at the moment because i have a newborn at home, so if my phone doesn't ring as it would otherwise, i'll be upset.
if this rom is the same as the latest froyo build, with added benefits of battery saving (because it's lean), then i'd like to give it a try, but only if it is stable.
