    wow.thank u for the review.i like DAgr 07 too (first i used this f/w but now i used nta 03).the disadvantage of dagr 07 is no mpkg hack,the icon animated is not compatible,and speed not very fast i think.
    i like the nta 03 f/w because the preload apps is very nice and usefully for me. and stable until now.

    Hi erichs,

    Dagr07 - No mpkg hack --> what's this? Are you trying to say that native packages wont work on it? In which case, i have to correct you. Slow speed, yes. Still, most popular (by number of thread views/replies)

    I couldnt get anybody to review the nta03 f/w. I sent requests out to the poster (ddvn, i think). If you can review that f/w on a similar format like the above, i'd be happy to include it in the list!

    I really love the NTA 03 firmware. Have been using it from the time when it first came out.
    But there is one disadvantage:
    The default ringtone while charging the phone is silent. So, if I set my cell on the vibrate mode and keep it for charging, and when someone calls me, then the phone still remains silent ( no vibrate, no ring).

    It can be edited very easily, but I thought that it should be mentioned.

    Yes you can. Try to use the general format as in all the reviews.
