I have the same feeling after going to XDA. Some of the stuff looks great, but there are a lot of posts about bricked Advantages. Since I have no idea what most of those downloads would do for me, I have avoided them all.

When I got my first converged device (Samsung i730), I went nuts. Reg edit, changed the volume default, skins, display. If there was a download, I tried it.

Then it began. People said they could not hear me when I was on the phone. Then it would just freeze up. Then the screen got squiggly lines. Basically, I think I killed it.

With my 7501 I have only put on programs that:
1. I understand what they are supposed to do (SBSH Weather and Pocket day, LogMeIn); and

2. Are tried out and have been around. (Softmaker Office Suite; OneNote Mobile-which stinks, by the way). I do not even download Beta versions.

No mods for me! I rely on this device too much. I like reading about them every now and then, however.
