Ok so i have my old v551 sitting here and i figure why not flash it or do something to it. here's the info of the phone:

Phone model:
V551J

GSPSAN2M0CIN03NA0D3 - 1.0.1.5.1.D.2.5.7.5.AW.0.0.0.3.1.E.C.A.A5

I dont know what the new flash/flex's have to offer to improve the phone more than it already is. but any information would be appreciated.
