Thank you to everyone who has posted to this forum. I upgraded my radio this morning and everything is up and running now. Man that is scary the first time you do it. Did hit a snag and got stuck in the bootloader screen, fortunatley I was able to get out of that with the titan_exitbl.exe program. The call to Verizon to get the phone re-authorized was a bit funny. I swear the tech was messing with me.... acting really confused how such a thing could happen. He acted like this is very unusal for this phone. In fact I did a hard reset before upgrading to the Sprint ROM and I could not dial out afterward because of the authentication msg. so I decided to wait and make just one call after it was all said and done.
Google maps works great with GPS. Haven't tested the DL speed but it does seem faster. Good luck to anyone upgrading their phone. It is a bit nerve racking so read as much as you can and learn from the mistakes of others.
