When I tried to get the phone activated through Verizon, I was told they could not help me because dialing ##778, would try to dial out instead of showing the phone's configuration. So, being stuck, I ended up installing a stock ROM, and calling Verizon to activate the phone.
I really would like the GPS feature working. Again, as I've read else where on the forums, Verizon has disabled the GPS, and at this time they have no idea when or if they will ever turn on the feature.
Now the 6900 is out, so I think any real changes from VZW for the 6800 will be few if any.
With a great device with features wanted, why would you disable them??
Again, thank you for the response. I would still like to backup my ROM, I don't want to give up yet, or be able to see the A-Key so I may write it down.
Again, all help is appreciated...

when you flash to a new radio, you'll need a new aKey. Verizon has to give this to you. you simply tell them you did a hard reset and now your phone can't authenticate.
you say you called them and they said they couldn't help you ? that sounds suspect to me. of COURSE they can help. and help you they must.
did you simply hang up ? i don't quite understand that.
your aKey will not be visible, so don't look for it.
if you couldn't dial out to ##778 (NO trailing # - just ##778 )
then try *228
this will authenticate your phone with the VZW towers and you then should be able to send and recieve phone calls.. the aKey you'll need, is for the data connection.
