Welcome: I put a little more detail in here than I thought I would. I also created a custom cab file to help with the setup, as well as including RegEdit. I still suggest that you read the original setup guide, found in the link just below this paragraph. It contains valuable information about editing the registry and doing changes to the phone. Consider it the newbie guide and this guide having at least some assumption that you have read it.

Now this won't be as detailed as that guide probably until a Version 2.0 is released sometime in the next few weeks, but I at least thought I would run through some steps to help you all out, and to make this work a little better. I am NOT going through the detailed steps, just overall steps, and the phone will be setup similar to what mine was last time. Many of the steps are the same, but some are a little different.

PAYING: Although this guide is completely free, if you really want to make me feel special and want to keep me doing things like this (although I probably will anyway) feel free to PayPal me with whatever you want. I don't get paid for helping/moderating/contributing at pdaphonehome.com, I do it because I like to do it. But if this really helps you, then feel free to drop me a few dollars (or $5, or $10, or $20, or $50, or $100, depending on your tax bracket). A lot of work is going in to this guide to compile my information, and a lot of my free time has gone/will go towards it's creation, and future updates.



DISCLAIMER: This is how I, let me repeat that, I, setup my i730 with WM5. You might choose to skip some of these steps, do more, who knows. This is how I like mine, and so far, everything is working with decent speed. I also want to say I take no responsibility for any of your information you might loose by Hard Resetting your i730, so make sure you backup EVERYTHING that you want (and you have to do this manually now, unless you want to buy Sprite). Also do not redistribute, post/copy this information in any other thread/forum, or steal this guide without written permission of myself or pdaphonehome.com. You are welcome to link to this thread or to it's placement in the i730/i830 FAQ, but do not reproduce it other than for your own personal use in a non-public domain.

INSTRUCTIONS: For the time being, these aren't going to be as "Newie" friendly as the last set of instructions, but I will be adding more and more to this guide as time goes on, and if new tweaks and tricks happen, so consider this an EARLY work in progress. I suggest again, that you read the original guide first, all of it, then come here and go through these steps. Eventually it will be as detailed as the other guide for 2003, but for now, it's quick and dirty.
