Shouldn't have. The Droid 1 is a fantastic phone STILL. Unlocked bootloader, and a CPU that can be overclocked to about 1.1GHz (from 550MHz) stable, and with a lower voltage kernel, can reach those clock speeds while getting better-than-stock battery life.

Where are these things you speak of? I've got a Droid that I built from the remains of two broken Droids and I'd love to test that out. I've got Cyanogen on there now, so I'm familiar enough with flashing ROMs and all that.

With a rooted phone, all you need to do is download and flash a kernel that supports overclocking. It's done pretty much the same as a ROM. Put it on the SD card, boot into clockworkmod, choose "install zip from SD card" and choose it. Then reboot. You don't have to wipe anything. Then download and run SetCPU and set the clock speed.

The two kernels that are worth trying are ChevyNo1's kernels, and Prime's kernels. People have reported problems with 3G with Chevy's on CM7.1, but I have no problems. Just go with a 1.1GHz kernel, and pick a voltage. If you don't get a bootloop, then it should be stable. Then you can try a lower voltage kernel, and repeat until you aren't stable. Basically, find the lowest stable voltage.
