Installing cabs

[bMwnut1]

I'm new to the forum and new to TP2. I haven't installed any cabs or programs. My phone is the Verizon version and I don't have a SIM card installed. I want to download a few of the cabs from the forum but I don't know what steps to follow. I have found the links for the cabs.
1) Do I find the links on my phone browser and download them directly or do I download them to my PC first?
2) Do I need to download anything else to prevent big V from knowing I'm using the phone as a modem (either wifi or usb tether)?
3) Once the cabs are downloaded, do they survive resets soft or hard?

Thank you!

You can do either! If you download them to your PC, you can use Activesync Windows Mobile Device Center to draqg and drop the CAB down to the phone.

I don't think so...

The installed programs and downloaded CAB source should survive a soft reset. Hard resets usually clean things out to the initial state like when V sent the phone to you.
