well you were close anyway... right device forum, wrong section.... as you may have noticed... this forum dosent look like the many WinMo forums here... this 1 is clean and until recently only UPGRADES were posted here, and all questions about an UPGRADE were posted in the correct THREAD of said UPGRADE... ie, a fresh rom question was posted in the fresh rom THREAD of the UPGRADE forum... yet another reason I'm glad I swaped to android... CLEAN FORUM NAVIGATION!

not trying to flame anyone and I'm sure you "with your rep and post count" you know far better then I do

As for the bell question... I believe, from what I've read here and at xda, flashing a new radio will brick/kill our phones correct me please if I'm wrong but wouldnt switching carriers involve some sort of new radio to recieve the bell signal?
