I'm really impressed with this! I'm on Telus, so my device is pretty much strictly CDMA. (I don't plan on using it with a SIM card unless I leave Canada, in which case I'd probably pick up a SIM for a US GSM carrier).

Installation was a breeze... I don't know how so many people are having problems. I have a ton of other junk on my SD card and HaRET booted Android up just fine. I put all the files at the root of the card, which is formatted FAT32. (Ie: unzipped the archive right at \Storage Card so that startup.txt, HaRET.exe, etc. are at root and the rest of the folders are one level up, \Storage Card\media for example.)

Right off the bat, the phone will dial out. The phone says "(No Service) Telus" on the locked screen but when I dialed my home number, my home phone rang. I didn't have to call into my voicemail and leave it connected before running HaRET. There is no mic or speaker output, but that is small potatoes in my opinion. If the phone can dial out and make another phone ring already, making the sound work without initializing a phone connection before running HaRET is just another small hurdle.

When I tried the call in to voicemail work-around, the mic and internal speaker both work flawlessly.

At this point, CDMA data doesn't seem to be working, nor WiFi. I'm confident that this will come along quickly. The Machinist's screen calibration is right on the money! (Thanks, BTW).

Really looking forward to seeing this happen, as I'm getting really sick and tired of WM's antics, as much as I love it's flexibility in comparison to BB or the iPhone.
