This thread is so awesome that i joined these forums just to post in it. This thread made me ride out on this surprisingly cool evening to my nearest MetroPCS store (which is not near at all) to offer them stacks of money to set me up. They said "no" in an impressive number of ways.

Is it true that the network is a newer version in the tri-state area (NY, NJ mainly for me) and you can't get a flashed TP2 to work on it here? The manager went so far as to tell me that if I called MetroPCS they would say it will work because they don't know anything about this. I'm jumping into my first smartphone here, so I figured the best way to do it was to pay for a phone already set up for MetroPCS and then buy a line of service (even if I had to get a phone with it). I need help because I really dig this TP2-on-MetroPCS combination. Any advice?
