New: Phone Skin (not eTen) & Carrier Logo

So everyone and their momma is using the eTen dialer skin and although it's really cool (especially the PaulyA skins) it suffers from some drawbacks:

(1) No SmartDial screen
(2) It "locks" your EvDO arrows. So althought you're EvDo turns on and off like it should, those data arrows are locked in whatever state they were in when you installed the eTen dialer. Mine were always "on" regardless if the connection was actually live or not. (They should have turned light grey when inactive.)

So here is a new solution that fixes these issues and still gives a nice skin.

Look below for Part 2: Changing your Carrier logo.

You MUST uninstall your eTen dialer first. Look under your Remove Programs to find it.

First, download the attached file zPhone.zip. In there is a .cab file you'll want to install.

It will create a folder called PhoneSkins on your device.

Choose either OrangePhoneSkin-WM5.zip or Vista Phonepad.zip and extract those files into the folder PhoneSkins. Copy over the images in the "New Images" folder and soft reset

Here is a pic of my phone with the Orange theme:


and here is the Vista (black) Theme:
