Do we need to worry about any charges or fines from sprint? I am wondering since it says dialing:alltell or something like that sometimes... just trying to make sure

I'm wondering about that as well. I haven't flashed a ROM yet - obvious I know and I don't want to screw up my contract with Sprint.

I Have Tested (on BELL), I said TESTED. I have not been able to get GPS to work as of yet - Said something about no device found or device not detected... Garmin says no Garmin GPS found... I have Triple checked the instructions (cuz I din't wanna brick my phone) - And I installed the Enable GPS et al. Settings: GPS S/W: COM4: H/W Port (none) - Bps 4800 - Auto Manage checked. Tried a few "test" GPS H/W Testers, and I get H/W not found. I just uninstalled GPS enable, and will re-install it now.
BTW> I have IE access and Phone works Great. Speeds 1025Kbp/s at 1mB FILE SIZE - 2ND 324 kBP/S .269S lATENCY 25.538S D/L TIME=D>

I don't think Garmin will work with this. Garmin requires a Garmin GPS unit.

You have to try Google maps, Live Search, TomTom, iGuidance, or another GPS unit. Garmin looks for a Garmin BT GPS unit.

the most recent update to Garmin Mobile XT should work; it will use the GPS Intermediate Driver and/or you can assign Com Ports. I'm using it on my Orbit 2 and Blackjack II I'll be flashing my Touch later today and will report my results.

Oh, I didn't know that. Last time I looked into it, it wouldn't work.

Oh crap!!
I flashed the Alltel Rom and then after i had everything working i was like
"I should load one of the 6.1 custom roms on this bad boy"\
SO i did and now im screwed
I get to the bootup Splash and its stuck on the Splash Screen
Well im going to put this phone in bootloader mode and try to reflash the phone with the Alltel rom...

I did the same thing earlier today. I had to follow the instructions on the thread for unbricking. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=24906

I just wateched google maps show me I walked across campus! Thanks Guys! And as far as Rev-A, the speed in Opera Mobile seems to be a lot faster on some sites, specifinally this one. And I'm using DNS servers from OpenDNS.com if that makes any difference
