Yeah, figured out what the problem was. If you have the proxy fix applied, you will have to go back in and set it again.
Back up to 2.3Mbps d/l speeds again.

Just make sure when you are done to change it back to PDA if you want to access your files from the SD card when hooking it up to the computer.

If you consistently go over the 350MB of roaming data limit that Sprint has, you are likely to get terminated. So it has to be done very carefully.

(Doesn't show the roam indicator).

I've got 5 phones on my account, and I'm the only one that does this. The most roaming I think I've done in one month was 250 MB. Do you think Sprint would cancel my contract if only one phone was roaming over 350 MB? I have always wondered that. I think it would be dumb if they canceled a $250/mo contract just because one phone on the account roamed excessively.
