Ok, replaced my third phone (that is I have three accounts with Droids on them NOT that I'm on my third return lol), and rooted the phone, flashed recovery, and did a nandroid backup. So far its going at 1100 like my other two phones with no problems at all. Setcpu with profiles enabled seems to occasionally cause a problem, so I enabled that part last. So far tho, its going strong.
For all the past whining about Verizon (having a closed platform), and
its not that things cant turn quickly toward the worst in the future, but I'm loving the droid and the customization. Nice.
