OK, I contacted Alltel to activate, but the phone will not because it wil not connect to an alltel tower. So:

I run MFG_2.31.exe to unlock the phone
I then run Sprint 6.1.exe to updae the radio for GPS capability (soft reset at customizations)
I then run OMJ.3.09.01.Clean.exe to falsh a new rom that will work with alltel
Then all my problems should be fixed..............? or am I missing something? Should I flash an Alltel dumped version from Imcokeman?

Also Is there a way to save the contacts to a comuter or SD card?

Ok if your not connecting to alltel you may need to add a alltel PRL. Here is a link for PRL's.

Once you have a few of them downloaded tranfer them to your phone, I put them in my documents folder. Then go into EPST click edit enter 000000 for your MSL code bottom left view info choose PRL highlight update PRL, bottom right menu, edit click browse and choose the PRL. Then menu OK click yes or Ok twice let the phone reset then *228. Repeat these steps until you get a PRL that will work.

There are many ways to save your contacts like active sync if you have outlook 2007 and there are many 3rd party apps available to do the same.

i would just use activesync. its so much easier. all you have to do is plug it in, press sync. and just let it charge.

What is the EPST, and how do I get into it?

From your phone dialer and dial ##778# or ##778(SND) Then follow the directions above.
EPST is your phones on board programming menu.

I found it under the WINDOWS folder on my device.

I got my phone updated to radio 3.42.30
I updated the ROM to WM 6.5 (thanks to PPCKitchen )
I have GPS enabled, I think, but not yet working.

I do want to thank everyone that put in for you help. I appreciate it.
