Wondering about Houdini

[billion]

Greetings Everyone....

I'm still pretty much a noob, but I got the Do It My Damn Self pockets in this economy. I've had the HTC 6900, HTC Diamond, and now I've gotten the HTC Touch Pro 2. I've pretty much done everything to it from uploading PRL 2003 to changing the settings for internet, sms,mms. My problem is Metroflashing. Of course, storebots are clueless on flashing anything remotely looking like a smartphone and here in Atlanta it looks like the rates have jumped drastically since the days I had my HTC 6900, prices are from $85-$100. I'm far from an expert(I wish I could code ROMS like you guys), but I don't need what the independent Metro affiliates are offering for $100. I'm thinking of just buying the Houdini and loading the ESN to Metropcs myself, any thoughts, concerns I should be aware of? Thanks!
