Confirmation of e815 seem edit

The "none" option is now available to me under shutter sounds.

I also enabled the option to allow using a different picture hosting service and a couple other things.

I believe it was $79.99. My local Bell World couldn't get the kit according to the salesperson I dealt with. I had also bought a cheap-o cable off the net for $12US. The Motorola cable is thicker and longer than the generic cable and the Motorola cable also has a passthrough connection for charging your phone with the regular home charger.

As for editing the seem, I just followed the instructions that other's hard work created. All the information on doing the seem edit is available on these boards, the guide I used is located here. I also researched and read more about it on this page.

I didn't really post to say anything other than I can confirm that the instructions for the Verizon version of the e815 work for us on Bell as well.

I do realize that I most likely overpaid, however I wanted to have a legitimate copy of Motorola Phone Tools that could use the LiveUpdate feature and here on Vancouver Island there's not much choice for cell phone accessories - especially for new phones like the e815.

I don't know if the Telus store was corporate or not, it was located at Woodgrove Mall in Nanaimo, B.C. Very nice and helpful sales people there, I almost felt guilty bringing in my Bell phone, until I saw the prices on some of their phones.

OPPressed is correct though, you don't need the MPT to do the seem edit - I like MPT though for transfering mp3's and syncing my phonebook/contacts.
