Would appreciate any help documenting the purpose of each program/cab in the Tmobile USA Extended ROM. A couple, like Intelligent Dial, are obvious, but others are not.

The only way to get the device to work is to abort loading of the Extended Rom, and then possibly load only the most critical cabs individually.

it would be perfect to know which cab does what. ROM's for Cingular and other carriers would be helpful too, i'm sure.

thanks!

(wonder how TMO/HTC will ultimately solve this problem)

Now the last one "Signed_2005_11_24_TOHTC_wispa_PPC_Release_v1_0_1_1.CAB" is really up to you...if you have the hotspot service then go for it...if you don't then don't bother.
