[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Travito:
Here's the e-mail for anyone who didn't get it:

Tonight my brothers, tonight we spark the revolution in the Kaiser ROM

development world.

There are so many of you have registered to participate here at PDC, yet so

few have taken the initiative to actually participate. I, and Parley, both

want this to change.

We are starting into the development of Phoenix III, and it is time for me

to convey the Phoenix Philosophy and Vision to you. I started Helping

MBarvian with Solace II a long time ago, because I liked his work and

thought he was on the right track. When MBV's kaiser troubles happened, and

with all the trouble getting the omnia base to work was happening, Parley

used his extensive knowledge from a long career in technology to make it

work and MBV encouraged us to release it. Phoenix I was born.

Phoenix II came as a result of new bases from Anryl, and listening to our

userbase. We feel very highly that the desires of our users should shape

what the ROM is. We don't just build ROMs for us and release them as many

chefs in the past have done. We take Kareem's Custom ROMs idea and

essentially make a ROM that will satisfy multiple parties, as well as

ourselves. We AIM to make a functional, fast, reliable ROM that is aimed

towards the users the Kaiser was marketed for: Business Professionals. And,

while i'm just a 20 year old myself who has a shiny phone, I intend to use

it for my work. I work in IT, and I run my own sole proprietorship as well.

And while I'm not exactly running around with a data plan and an exchange

server (though we're going to one soon at the college I think), I use my

phone a LOT for business things.

I have never liked the interfaces of standard phones, I find them

non-functional and useless. Shiny little toys with gimmicks that teenagers

use to play "who's who?". The Kaiser is a functional device that does what

it is supposed to do. And to help us make it that way, we DO listen to each

and every user that has something to say, and we're very very active about

getting bugs fixed and releasing good products. A lot of the really Popular

ROMs, I'm sure their authors really try too, but with just one thread and

so many bug reports, one person can't handle it all by themselves.

This is why the Phoenix Development Center (http://phxdev.wkycomputing.com)

exists.

We love and appreciate XDA and will always have our thread there and use it

for official releases and such, as well as bugs and other stuff, but it's

so much easier when the users come here to itemize everything so Parley can

take a look and do Triage with what bugs are the most serious, and we can

see if a bug has been looked at so it doesn't get lost in pagination.

We want to know what you want in Phoenix III. Parley is going to be very

busy with his real job for the next three weeks, so come to PDC, all of you

(http://phxdev.wkycomputing.com) and let's plan and get Parley the OEMs and

CABs that we want, then he just has to assemble it all when he can.

This upcoming Saturday, the 21st, we are going to have a live chat at 5:00

PM US Central Standard Time. Please be there if you can. Chat can always be

accessed at PDC by clicking the "Open Chat" link in the forums. (Make sure

to do so in a new tab or window with a right or middle click though)

I hope you all become active in PDC soon!

Phoenix III is coming! Let's make it the best ROM ever!
