From my personal experience and per the change log, this is no longer a requirement.

I just did i while ago and was very impressed, i called google 411 and bing 411 both worked perfect :)

tested calling my voicemail and it wasent able to detect my fingre press on the ui dialpad and times out at 28 seconds

Id like to see a succesfull data test and my money is in the donation bin

no offense but for some reason the line " get the awesome ability to make and receive calls " makes me chuckle as we discuss this in a phone thread...LOL

2 other questions:

1. Did you have to unlock security or anything else to get the SIM card to work with Android on TP2?

2. Has anyone else looked into cheap pay-as-you-go services that use SIM card?

1) I had to unlock the phone using the HardSPL.
2) Then pay for and run the security unlocker: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...26#post1284826
3) Install the 2.23.00WU Radio http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=106571

4) Download the Jan 7th Android Build and extract it to the root of your SD card: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=K9I9GZ88

5) I then purchased and installed an ATT SIM card with data and 500 mins just to play with. I'll keep it active for 2-3 months.

6) Turn your phone to GSM Mode. (Personal -> Phone -> Network) You should see it's connected to AT&T or TMobile, etc.
7) Launch Haret.exe from your sd card. Voila.

Phone works. Data Works.

I plan on using my google voice to forward to the att phone number just to play around more.

Hope this helps.

What SIM did you purchase? I'm curious as to what the data costs are, etc? Can you link me or give me a bit more info?

Re: Android, it's alive!.. (2.0.1) - Updated 12/24

So what exactly is fully functional using android on the sprint TP2 now? Can i make calls/texts and use data? Or is it still super basic no radio use at all?

Dual boot works on wvga!

I played with Android on my TP2 last week for a couple of minutes and just got bored. I was curious what people were actually doing with Android on there phone at this stage of the development. It also seemed pretty laggy as well.
