i don't think they make that radical a design departure, but that's just my opinion. def curious to see what v.4 brings. apparently, they have been mum on iphoneOS issues since there is a lot of reference to the apple tablet in there.

AT&T Reputation Tarnished by iPhone Flaws

A report from the New York Times this weekend suggests that the perception that AT&T has an inferior wireless network may be more than greatly exaggerated--they might be flat wrong. Not only that, but it may be the Apple iPhone that is the root of the problems that are sullying AT&T's reputation.

AT&T has been saddled with issues and complaints about its service. Some users took it so far as to file lawsuits against both AT&T and Apple claiming spotty service, dropped calls, weak signals, and slower-than-advertised data speeds. However, recent network surveys suggest that the problem might lie with the iPhone hardware rather than the AT&T wireless network.

According to Paul Carter, president of Global Wireless Solutions, the results of its extensive, nationwide testing of the different wireless networks show that AT&T's network, contrary to user claims, is vastly superior to competing networks. "AT&T's data throughput is 40 to 50 percent higher than the competition, including Verizon."

Root Wireless reached a similar conclusion as a result of its testing of wireless data networks. Ron Dicklin, chief technology officer of Root Wireless, explained that its testing application won't work on an iPhone, so it relies on other smartphone handsets to conduct its network surveys.

The implication is that the AT&T network is phenomenal...unless you use an iPhone. Roger Entner, senior vice president of telecommunications research at Nielsen, claims that the iPhone has engineering flaws with the chipset connecting to the AT&T wireless towers, resulting in inferior voice and data reliability.

I don't really get it. I've never had any problem moving audio files to my phone with the software that comes with the phone. Why do you need this?

quick question for Haq or anyone else that might know.

Can I root my phone and add any of these roms....

http://theunlockr.com/downloads/android ... roid-roms/

In other words, can I download one and update my myTouch3G to say, a Hero or Eclair rom?

If you do go ahead with this, I recommend (once again) the Cyanogen ROM as it's highly stable and updated frequently --> http://www.cyanogenmod.com/

Detailed installation instructions (and help) can be found here -->
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Main_Page

I think some (many?) of the ROMs on the page you linked to are no longer being developed.
