I went through every step of this very slowly to make sure I didn't screw it up, and this is what happened to me...
After it was all completed I had these versions:

CE OS 5.2.20273 (Build 20273.1.3.3)
ROM Version: 3.56
Radio Version: 3.42.50
PRI Version: 2.03_002
No2Chem 2.47 Bootloader

HOWEVER!
Had to call for the A-Key. Even though I've done countless flashes, and haven't had a need to do so since the very first one I did. TOTAL PAIN!

AND!
Kept getting the (Code 11: PPP Connection Error) every time I tried to connect to the internet and had to place a second call to Verizon. They opened a trouble ticket, and one of their network techs had to reset things on their end.

When I was waiting for them to get things fixed on my network connection, I noticed that GPS wasn't locking. For some reason, it began to lock as soon as they got things fixed. My DMU keys needed to be reset on their end, but that shouldn't have had any effect on the GPS since Verizon doesn't use the internet to assist the GPS ONE chip. Apparently you can get around this if you have an old regular non-pda phone laying around you can activate using your Verizon online account, then switching back to your 6800 after about 10 minutes.

All working well now, after about an hour on the phone with Verizon and 2 separate calls. So it does work, but you CAN encounter problems along the way. God knows I did. I don't notice any real difference in the PRI versions, but I don't know exactly what specific benefits this version has to even look for improvements.

PROCEED WITH CAUTION!!!
