in case any1's interested
got used off CL for $80 without box or cables, but with an extended battery
the guy claimed over email that it was unlocked - he was clueless - was talking about screen locking...
anyways, I got it right b4 my trip overseas - unlocked it there for $10 and reflashed it with revolutionary/sense stuff
apparently I was removing the back cover too often while trying to unlock it myself - the guy that did unlocking pointed out at a small crack in the GSM antenna contact on the back cover and said that caused a weak signal
back in the states got a new back cover along with extra battery for $30
now, with my tmobile sim card I can
- browse Internet,
- send sms,
- receive sms, and
- can receive phone calls
BUT I cannot make phone calls!!!
any ideas on what's wrong? when I push the button to dial, it attempts, and then drops it after half a second...
I did switch to dual gsm/umts mode.
any ideas?
Thanks.
