so what are you doing with your verizon account? Cancelling it? without returning the device? Or was this only an experiment?

Wow, this is my first post here. But that is sweet.
Did you have to modify the servicebooks or after it was unlocked, it was just a piece of cake?
thanks

I haven't made up my mind yet. Service in my home area sucks for all wireless carriers (TMO, VZW, and ATT), I need wifi (i.e. Curve 8320 for UMA,only TMO) to make and receive calls at home.

Except for the Radio Activation: No issue, everything was very easy. All the service books were pushed to my device when I logged on the TMO account via desktop.

Unlocked phones are selling on eBay for $1000, thats tempting too. What do you think VZW will do if I canceled and kept the phone, I am a new customer and I am still within the 30 trial period.

$175 on top of what you already paid or $175 on top of full retail.

So it would be cheaper to sign up for a plan and cancel it before 30 days is up

well, thats a total of $624 for me out of pocket, if you add the paypal fee and other expenses it almost makes it not worth the hassle.

Can anyone list the differences between using it on Tmobile instead of Verizon?
I mean in terms of how the phone runs, (Besides no 3G and not as good service.)

EDGE is slower than Verizon's 1XEv if that helps any. As for the phone responsiveness, no change for me.

It Works
Unlocked the phone by calling Verizon and tested with a T-Mobile sim card. Was able to make a call. IT WORKS!
