helmi's never worked, that is why it was pulled from the kitchen PRIOR to release. re-read the thread and you will see that he "accidently" pulled a GSM one. some people claimed they got it to work, only later to admit that they did not.
Helmi had one that gave this error
Warning: Version is not supported
whenever you would send a msg and it would idle in the outbox. It was something that many of us on the kitchen team tried to work out for many days until we realized that the newer versions dont support the CDMA network. it kinda sucks but im sure that verizon will have a phone out soon with the most updated arcsoft that is out at the time of release. Sit tight, as soon as we get a cdma version well get it on this phone!
