ok question for you guys. If i call verizon and get my phone "sim unlocked", will that stay inm place if i hard reset or flash a custom rom? I dont have the verizon/vodaphone sim card for my imagio. But im thinking of agoing on vacation to europe this fall. Im constantly modding my phone (im currently running manilla sense 2.5 on it now) so i wanna know if a hard reset & rom flash will kill my sim unlock?

No, the SIM unlock should stay. It always did with my previous HTC phones.

I've got a SIM from Mobal Communications that I've used when travelling and their rates are pretty good, especially for calling back to the States and for making local calls w/in Europe. The SIM I got from them has a UK phone number tied to it.

Apparently Skype no longer offers the Windows Mobile version. Any Idea's where I can get it?
