Best Rom For 5500

Actually some of the software on killefiz will work with OZ, though if it's a Qtopia app you'll need to use the compat libs, and if it uses floating point it won't work (it will run but return the wrong answers).

I'd stick to the feed if I were you,

Actually, the current OZ made itself incompatible with everything else out there, and sadly, this actually does matter...

The qtopia 2.1.1 rom is compatible with existing applications.  Just waiting for the 2.1.2 release, so I can update the rom over there. It even comes with fullscreen input method, which you won't find anywhere else except the X11 based romimages.

Will the Qtopia ROM work with the Sandisk ConnectPlus card and will it have working email and internet browsers?      

I'm SO spoiled by Opera on the Sharp ROM which can switch to a narrow PDA view of any web site with a click AND enlarge the page/fonts with another click.  Also,  the email software in the Sharp ROM has HOT LINKS!  The hot links when clicked on open up Opera and go to the page...do you know how great this is???  I spent a frustrating evening trying to use my Open Zaurus collie and it is just too lame to be of any use.  Not to mention,  to top it off I accidentally "forgot" and pressed the right joystick key and the whole Z went dead and needed a reset....

Opera works with the latest Opie OZ images afair.

You need to install and use the compat libs of course,

On the OZ Hentges ROM, I have installed several programs designed for the original Sharp ROM.  After installing, go to settings and click on Libraries, then through the scroll down menus, select the package you just installed.  It's great being able to use programs from both "camps."
