Holy crap! I pretty much check out of any interest in updates for PPC-6700 (Embarq a.k.a Sprint Lite), late last year as I was just super sick of the whole fiasco I had with Embarq just buying the thing (

long story and not important

).
I checked this morning to see if Embarq had release any new ROMs to deal with the daylight savings time change. Nope, nada, zero, zip; now that's great customer support . Sprints 'offical' ROMs would not work as I would get the dreaded country code error.
Anyhow, I did some googeling, came across PPCGeeks and started reading up about the various choices one has (choice is good). Download WM6 AKU 0.7 Kitchen and dove in head first.
Now, I thought maybe that the Sprint Ext. Rom/setting would be the correct choice during my first attempt at a ROM build/install but to be safe I did a generic build and had to use the 'No UUID' (not sure I am remembering the correct terminology) to skirt the country code error. This worked great but I had no data connection. I then tried the Sprint selection in the Kitchen and it now have data connection and an awesome 'new' phone

.
I can't say thanks enough for everyones effort!!
