Here is my report on radio 3.27 & 3.16 updates to my Alltel PPC-6800 running WM6...

Flashing from Custel's V1.1 base 2.14 and radio 1.40 to Dcd's Beta 2.0 w/ 3.16 and radio 3.27. Following the instructions compiled from several threads (following the median), I flashed and after several attempts I was successful. Installation may be flaky or picky depending upon several factors but remain CALM. Basically every error or "stuck at screen" issue can be resolved.

Hard Reset again after successful installation of both. After startup I pressed *228 and then option 3. *228 again and then option 2.

Google Maps & Live Search have been installed, tested and are deemed fully OPERATIONAL; I have consistent performance and tracking in both programs. Basic voice calls have had recieved feedback that reception is clearer and slightly louder. No distortion or call dropping. My device has been re-paired with X3 Micro (handsfree) and BT8010 (handsfree & wireless stereo). Connections remain flawlessly connect and both profiles on the BT8010 load automatically. Music strems clear and without cutoffs or lag.

I have my data set through Schaps ACT to be on ALL the time and my data connection actually idles now; it did not before. Signal reception is slightly stronger and I still have Ev 100% of the time while recieving the 1X for voice calls. Still cannot broswe online and make phone calls at the same time. Email accounts have been set up and send/recieve without incident. WifiRouter connects and works great as well.

Overall device stability is terrific and I cannot report ANY lockups, lag or freezing of device or apps at this time. Device speed within application installing, loading and running appears to be the same. I will continue to monitor and test. I also soft reset my device about once/twice a day to keep the device free and smooth. Battery life appears to be nominal based upon usage but I can get between 26 - 32 hours based on usage from single charge.

Overall I recommend these updates. Please read all related topics before performing the flashing to the point of confidence with formulation of plan A, B and C contemplated. The rewards are worth the 15 - 45 minutes of planning, flashing, and/or re-flashing. There are numerous threads to assist you with recovering your device from just about every error or lockup. DO NOT PANIC! My installation was not perfect but a few minutes of planning and re-reading, and re-flashing got me back on track and successfully installed. Good luck and enjoy!
