I'm currently on Tmobile, but I really like this phone. If I would buy an 8525 can somebody tell me how I would go about unlocking it?

but was wondering.. when i boot up the phone still shows the ATT boot up screen.. where can i find how to change that.. and unbrand the phone?

you can unbrand your phone by using a "cooked" ROM. i used the TNT special edition, its hella quick and has a good mix of applications.below are two links to my my two favorite so far, JUST MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY and you should be ok. watch out though, it turns into an addiction after you flash for the first time =D

Thanks for the info, that sounds like I could handle it. Now to find a phone...

Installed schap's 4.22 and read thru about 20 pages on the link provided, but didnt see what i need... the Rom comes with TouchFlo and it shows to be enabled... any suggestions on how many more pages from that forum i need to read to find out how to use it? Do i need to install Cube also? if so what versions are suggested with this rom?

I have read alot of different pages on both forums and just seem to find versions, pros and cons.

Since TouchFlo came with this rom, what cube can i use, since it seems most the cubes i found mention uninstalling touchflo...
