[h4]Flash[/h4]
Term meaning to write something (usually a ROM image) to a non-volatile chip. The term originates from original chip writers (EPROMblowers) which used to write to a chip by fusing tiny areas in the chip making individual links either short circuit or open circuit.

This modified bootloader allows a much safer flashing process to take place since it reduces the chance of permenently bricking yourHTC based device. It also removes the need to CID Unlock the device since it ALWAYS reports SuperCID when flashing. See the official thread for more info.

That's how the phone comes stock, WM6.1

Hacked mine and put WM6.5 on it

Start screen

I never had a BB, I used the Storm before and hated it. The Curve, used that and it's pretty nice.
My sister just got a Curve so I'm sure I'll play around with it and get more familiar with BB's.

When does the mandatory data plan start?

Then they dont even pair Unlimited text messaging with the normal one, they try to make you pay 50 bucks for the bundle pack

I mean I like Smartphones/Pocket PCs because they are totally tweakable, but I dont even use the internet on them because most of them have Wifi so why would they try to force us to get a data plan still? Any AT&T employees want to shed light? Because I`m not tryna cop one of these dumbphones.


Like another NTer said, live within your means.

If you can't afford the mandatory plan, roll with a flip phone

.
Sounds like a regular phone is more of your speed. Free wifi does not exist everywhere. Sometimes you'll need the3G.

I'm actually wondering if there are anyways around it, such as buying an unlocked phone offline.

i got a laptop, desktop and phone with data.

internet on phone is sooooooo very handy

this is stupid, i honestly dont know anybody who does this.

you're acting like smartphones are only good for internet.

i dont know anything about att's policies when it comes to smartphones, but if you're renewing a contract, just get a free phone and throw it on ebay. then buy the smartphone you like with some of that money.

Did I say I couldnt Afford it? I would be wastingmoney for a service I`m not using. Theres a diffrence between living in your means, and spending money on stuff you use. Please Exit the thread.

where you live? i always have 3G

In Los Angeles I can almost always count on having subpar service with my iphone. There are times I've been in the heart of DTLA and seen "noservice" instead of bars. I can't even count the amount of times my calls have failed. It's so bad to the point where I may not get a BB Onyx whenit comes out due to the service.

The way I see it, there's no point in having a smartphone if you're not even gonna have a data plan.
