Everything seemed to be working fine but i noticed this morning i dont have service anywhere... even if i have bars of service it says "No Service"... anyways i was going to just buy a new phone but if anyone has any idea how to fix this or what causes it that would be cool... Thanks Dan

Even so, I'd try a hard reset and a ROM flash just to be sure it's the hardware. -------------------- Phone: Sprint Touch Pro

Any suggestions on a fun new phone?

Well about the best thing out there is the Cingular 3125, and if you are a Cingular customer then you can get a pretty good deal on one if you don't mind the contract. If you prefer smartphone over pocketPC phone edition as I do, then I recommend the Cingular 3125 -------------------- Eric Jones Editor / Moderator Mobile Gadget News Staff Sergeant United States Marine Corps, Infantry Currently using an iPhone My Gadget History : ~~AT&T Tilt~~, ~~Cingular 3125~~, ~~i-Mate Smartflip~~, ~~G-Sat BT359W GPS~~, ~~Parrot Rhythm n'Blue BT Car Stereo~~, ~~Logitech Mobile Traveller~~, & ~~ThinkOutside BT Keyboard~~

Unless you're looking for something with more power like a Pocket PC Phone or a phone with a thumb board. But if you want a Smartphone, I'd also recommend the 3125. It just looks so cool. -------------------- Phone: Sprint Touch Pro

I'm thinking about being cheap and scoring a used mpx200 for cheap on ebay or switching it up and getting an mpx220... it sounds that i will have service in more places and even better service all around since the phone is a quad band... also the quality of pictures dont really matter to me but i missed not having a camera or bluetooth on the mpx200. Thanks for the advice.

It is called mpx200gsm-fix.img how to: the same way you flash any ROM images. Just run Motorola Upgrade Wizard and flash this image without reflashing the windows. tested on wm2003 ans wm5. goodluck.
