Did you use HSPL3_PKG.exe to HSPL?
Were you also running WM 3.14 before loading?
I might try tomorrow but I need to make sure I can go back to WM.  Wife is still running WM on her HD2 and I need to be able to test WM stuff on mine before loading hers.

OH!  BTW, did you see this?  http://www.bestbuy.com/site/PNY+-+32GB+microSDHC+Memory+Card/1661199.p?id=1218277381076&skuId=1661199

Class 4 for less than $100!

Just tested!  Was able to go full circle all the way back to loading WM back after running Android from NAND!  Yahooooo!

One observation.  Android NAND performance, just from the brief playing around I did, did not seem significantly different from running off of SD card.  Probably did not try anything hard enough.

If you dont get a performance boost, which i think you should, you will definitely get better battery life because that phone is not having to ask the sd card to do everything.

Very true.  Just finishing loading up.  No more WM for now.  Hopefully, will not have to support anything new on wife's phone! :-)

Still loading all of my stuff.  Noticed that the TMO My account and VVM apps work now!  Yahoooo!
