His reporting of the error is obviously not as precise as it should be.

Make sense? Sorry for stringing this out for so long, but at least we got to "meet" a fellow Android user and discuss the merits of MD5 checksums .

Cheers!

Oh no, not at all. Nice talking to you and I learned some things.
Think I'll be spending more time here. Makes me want to go out and get an Eris. LOL

Now let me play with my phone damn it. LOL

Cheers to you also.
