yes to get a new radio you need to be sim unlocked, I haven't really noticed any reception gains over the stock sprint radio though.

Yea that's worried me too. But what I like about PPCPim is that I can back up more than just contacts and all into one file. What I would like to do (and I have yet to try to figure out) is find a way to have my PPCPim backup files automatically uploaded to something like google sync or some other way to have it save off of my phone.

after you back it up, just e-mail it to yourself as an extra measure.

Do you have to do the SIM unlocker is you are CDMA?

you only have to if you want to flash a non stock RADIO or use a GSM sim card and run it under att/tmobile, but there is no added signal benefit to the patched radios so I would say no you do not have to if you are planning to use your current carrier associated with the phone.

Yea, but I am thinking of something that will work automatically. PPCBackup runs automatically for me every night at 4am when I am most likely sleeping. I would like a way for that file to be auto sent by my phone somewhere right away. I would even settle for a separate program that I could set to run at 4:30am to send the freshly backed-up file.

Thanks though for that idea.
