extreme noob, requires assistance?

[Guest blackplasma]

hi all, im new to the forum and hoping im in the right place, there is a lot of terminology im unfamiliar with here so please bear with me while i get to grips with as much as possible!

i have seen lite roms, which look like roms but with loads stripped out of them but .cab are provided for you to add in the extra programs that you want? is this correct?

also why would i make a choice between 6.5.3 or just 6.5 ?? what differs which is better?

when flashing an omnia can you back up any sms messages etc so you dont loose it? like take an image of what is there to resort back to if you need to?

The difference between 6.5 and 6.5.x is primarily just an improved interface, the start and ok/close button is moved to the bottom next to the softkeys and the start menu is redesigned with drag and drop functionality. There are also minor interface changes in the windows settings.

Which one is better is up to the the individual some people like the old style and some the new.

You can use activesync to backup the contents on your phone but I find it easier to use MyPhone(not only because I don't use windows as my main laptop OS) which backs up and syncs the items you chose over the Internet.
