ok so i just called sprint and got my prl updated to 60611.
It did stop it from freezing up right away while searching for a roaming signal requiring a battery pull....... BUT I still cannot connect to any roaming carrier * without * a soft reset while in roam only.
ALSO, if i open any apps while its trying to find a roaming signal i cannot close the app window it is stuck there, AND if you turn the display off while it is searching for a roaming signal, it will not wake up....requiring a battery pull.
BOOOOOO !!!!
