And what the heck it a boot loader? The guide is pretty clear on the "How" I just need some terminology updates. Feel free to link me to a different thread to figure this out.
I am curious as to the "Why"
EDIT: Basically, here's what I want to do: I want GPS (like Microsoft Streets and Trips with GPS...it's free to use after buying the program, no monthly fees) that I can use without a monthly subscription, I want all the normal voice/TXT, and pix/flix messaging capabilities, and be able network to my laptop to use it's internet connection on my phone so I don't have to get 2 seperate Broadband packages from Verizon (I have the old Unlimited Broadband, I ain't giving it up! LOL) (basically an install in my truck to use my laptops wireless as a mobile "hot spot"). I anyone can point me in some, if not all, of the direction I need to do this, it would be great!

You don't have to do things quite like this guide suggest. I have a tutorial made. The link is in my signature. I have definitions to a lot of the terminology listed there as well. Also if you want to build your own ROM (windows mobile with the programs you select to have added in), look at the tutorial for how to on ROM building.
