Hi Fred. I'm very interested in what you have done. Congratulations. =D>

I'm considering buying a used Sprint Mogul myself and modding it for use on the MetroPCS network. Seems like you are saying it is possible.

Please clarify:

Do I need to use the $35 metroflash service - which just offers voice & texting - as a prerequisite for your mod? Or do I bypass that step entirely?

Which features on your PPC6800 are now fully enabled to work on the MetroPCS network and which are not?

When you say "internet" are you talking about full, fast access to the Mogul's full IE web browser or painfully slow access to the (pathetic) Metro Web browser? Like what speed? Does https: encryption work - e.g. can I pay my bills online with the Mogul?

Does email work? I don't particulary want or need an @metropcs account, but @gmail access would be useful. Have you successfully set up POP & SMTP & SSL?

What kind of upload/download speeds are possible thru MetroPCS network in wireless modem mode connecting to laptop? I guess unlimited data is part of the MetroPCS $45 plan, or does it violate any terrms of use?

Is the MetroPCS network reliable/stable enough for all functions or do you drop in and out with voice and data?

Have you successfully added MMS for sending picture to phone numbers?

How do you find the camera's still and video quality?

Is there a step by step you have worked out available online, or would you prefer to email/chat privately? Please feel free to email me. (Please let me know if this is OK to do in this forum as I would not wish to offend. )

Thanks. Thanks. Thanks.

Oh... did I say Thanks?
