Is there a way to remove the Boot screen and screen saver completely off of the device? I tried to load the T-Mo software on it, with no luck...it still showed cingular.

This has been asked and answered many times before - you can't do it.

Oh wow...that's not good...hmm, sorry for the bother.

You do realize you can have a different screen saver and a non cingular background. The boot screen is so quick, why bother.

any update on this. is it still not possible to change the boot screen

Nope -- it has never been possible to change the splash screen. There's no update because it's not possible (feel free to search on the matter).
