Thanks for the help everyone! After inputting U.S. Tmobile APN settings, I was able to use my BB SIM card with the new mod. I have read that I need a different data plan using an android phone with my old bb plan. So far, I have had no problems using the edge network for data. We'll see if I get a message from Tmobile telling me to upgrade, as I hear happens.

Does anyone know what the "superuser" app is for? When I scanned the phone with AVG's antivirus app, it said it was suspect. Is it malware?

Thanks again everyone, this is 1000x better than my bb curve..

It's an app to give "superuser" access to another app, otherwise known as root access, for example SetCPU needs root access to increase the CPU mhz.

I don't understand...


I've tried to download using the link but it keeps bombing out at random points. The connection here is fine, and it tells me x of 90mb to download but I keep getting 15mb's or 20mb's worth and then it drops out.

I got 30+ mb on the last attempt and now I can't access it to download or even the blog now they both just time out...
