I have abandon my T-mobile Dash once more for the LG CU500 I got awhile ago. Someone did ask how did I manage getting the Tzones to work on the phone. This is what I did to make it work.

I know it’s a lot of steps but after all that the internet will work and Java applications should work. Currently they are not working for me but when I did use the phone prior to me switching over again Java applications worked. So YMMV . Now to figure out how to get my N800 to link thru bluetooth so I can have mobile internet. :-D
