Ok stupid newbie question coming up. I understand flashing the phone, I've done that completely and am up to speed.
Flexing though I am lost on and would appreciate if someone could answer a couple of questions for me. Apologies if they have been answered elsewhere, I did have a quick look but couldn't find the answers so if they are there just post a link rather than waste your time speiling)
1) What, in essence, is "flexing" your phone.
2) Is it just used to remove operator logos etc and if so why can't you use p2kman to just delete it?
3) I now have 10.1mb free space and video working, so honestly what would be the top benefits of me using it?
All help appreciated!

This is how it was explained to me:
Flashing is like upgrading your firmware, whereas flexing is like upgrading the software and programs that run on the operating system.

Correct and wonderful, but how about we wording this as a "changing" instead of upgrading ??

Flashing is a procedure inwhich you change the flash file on your phone or S/W version which is like the OS for your phone, Flash is a file that contains code for you phone.
Flexing is a procedure in which you change the flex file on your phone, Flex files contain only settings and graphics for you phone.

Fantastic thanks for that, so I presume that flexing is largely for aesthetics?
