I was actually able to recover from my problem. I somehow got my Win 7 x64 desktop to identify the phone as QuallComm and loaded drivers so ActiveSync would work. I still can't flash from the card, though. The first 5-6 attempts were using Whiteimg.nbh and the other tries using WHITIMG.nbh (used the posted case just in case). I'm also confused when given the option at bootloader to push the volume button up for manufacturer's settings and volume down for custom settings. Both hard reset the current ROM and seem to do the same thing as far as I can tell The Mogul and TP were much more idiot proof...
Note: I've been using the same FAT32 MicroSD card that I used in my Mogul and TP for flashing needs.
