You do have the right idea though, with the economy the way it is we all should be upgrading our bosses phone just for job security lol.
Hahaha...yeah, but he actually gave it to me since it's his wife's old phone. Her company gave her a new phone so she didn't need the mogul anymore and I bought a mogul off ebay and I showed it to him being a fellow techie person and he was like oh hey if my wife has her phone still you can use it for parts. Well the next day there it was on my desk at work and he said have at it you can have it. I was like woah is it my birthday? So that made my friday. Anyhow....I did try it out with live search. I can lock a GPS signal. It just takes a while (same amount of time it takes for pocket streets) which I guess makes sense since it's the same GPS chip inside. So my problem is making the darn phone use wifi for any data it needs. I can log onto my network, router see's the phone, phone sees the router. IE and any other app for that matter just won't use my wifi for data service. MAC filtering is on and the phone's MAC is in the router and the key is correct so I don't know what gives. My 6700 goes onto the wifi network just fine. (YES EVDO is turned off on the 6700) My mogul isn't activated yet.
