[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] hobojester:
I actually feel like I may have some valid input on this one. My phone is provided by my corporation, and as such it is used as a business device first, and everything else second. Here are my thoughts:

1) I would assume that those of us using our PDAs as business devices are using them first and foremost as a way to access (in this order): e-mail, voice, web, and then 3rd party applications provided by the company (or as required by your business needs) (web & 3rd party could probably be swapped in order).

a) E-mail: I am assuming most users out there connect to an exchange server. For me, your current ROMs out of the box are broken when it comes to e-mail. My company has extremely sensitive information and so they CRANK up the security on Exchange. I have found a fix (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3377909&postcount=8) for it so it's not really an issue with the ROM. But you may want to incorporate this for a more seamless business ROM.

b) Voice: Obviously the most stable voice program would be the best. Let's face it, TACHI is sweet lookin, but with one single huge blarring neon problem: Landscape is broken. Most will probably read this and say 'stop whining', but the reality is that I spend a lot of time with the keyboard flipped corresponding via e-mail, typing in Word or Excel, and then BAM I get phone calls and don't have a clue who's calling. Fortunately, I keep the MSVC announce calls switch flipped on, and so I can figure it out, but I don't have an option to sending a TXT, ignoring properly, and so I suspect others find this majorly inconvenient. Currently I disable TACHI, reinstall WM, then I install new taskbar icons 'cause that process breaks half (yes half, it's kinda funny) of your icons.

c) Web: I flip between Opera and IE depending on my needs, but I've never had a problem with your ROM when it comes to the web.

d) 3rd Party: There's nothing you can do to ensure 100% complete compatability for 3rd party apps. I'm not even sure reverting to 6.1, or sticking with Betas of 6.5 is the right option. Obviously MS is in the business of compatability (same OS for multiple multiple hardware platforms... I'm not a MS lover or anything, but you do have to take your hat off to their accomplishment in that arena) so I personally think either option will be fine yet ultimately whichever one is the fastest is what I'd suggest.

2) Battery Life: I still can't believe people are discussing the battery life on this device. Let's face the facts: This device is a computer. It has fast processor, it has a solid state hard drive, and it has RAM. In fact, it as as much RAM as several of our older computers where I work. How much battery life does your laptop give you? People will state silly things like: give me 50x more battery life for business. Yeah, well, like you wouldn't be doing the same for ANY of your other ROMs.

3) I currently use the TF3D2 and have no issues with it. In fact, I MUCH MUCH prefer the e-mail capabilities and views with this over Titanium. Bugs? I don't ever have bugs with it. Yeah it may not flip to landscape in .0004 seconds flat, but it's a big fat pretty app. Doesn't bother me that it takes a few seconds to flip. If people call that a bug, well, that just shows how solid the app really is.

4) You mention having more 'professional graphics', I don't know what more you could do unless you mean 'boring' graphics. Let's face it, there's a reason why the iPhone and other such devices are getting POUNDED at not having excellent support for things such as Exchange Sync, Goodlink, and others. People out there, professional and non professional like to be wow'd. The cooler the graphics, the more the wow. I'd suggest stick with what you're doing. When I get the chance to show off my phone at business meetings, people totally dig what I've got going.

5) I don't know what you can change otherwise to make a more business oriented ROM. I mean, if you're going to get more speed out of Magic/Phoenix, wouldn't you do the same for Business? If you're going to get more RAM out of Magic/Phoenix, wouldn't you do the same for Business? Does it really make any real speed differences between a ROM with 20 apps installed vs 30? Just because an app is installed, doesn't mean one has to use it. It's always made me think why do some cooks make a 'lite' version with half the apps missing... just tell people not to use it and save the cook some trouble.

6) Well, sorry for the essay here. My bottom line opinion is if you decide to roll with a Business edition ROM, it really wouldn't be that difficult to create (using your other ROMs as a template of course, I never mean to elude that doing what you do is easy!). You can probably develop it in close tandem with your other ROMs. But I don't think there's a single user of your ROMs who's going to just be using their device for business oriented things only. Games, what else am I doing on the throne? Youtube, of course. Tethering, absolutely the business can pay for my mobile internet. Movies, how else can I watch a movie when the flight attendant walks by during take off (harder to hide the lappy under my jacket!!).

7) Ultimately, what you're doing now is nothing flat of amazing and I have to continue to shout out thanks and props to you. I've actually gotten several people on my staff onto the TP BECAUSE of your ROMs. People have used it, run the stock, and hate it, until I turn them onto your ROMs and then they're praising your Alias (doubt your parents really named you NRG!! hahaha... you should consider it for you kid tho) in making their device really usable. So thanks again!

Hope some of this helps.
