NpManny · 10/23/2011, 03:24 PM

I believe it would work but I may be able to give up one from a Pre-. My Pre- has mostly kicked the bucket(keyboard doesn't work) so it's pretty much a brick for me, I had it working with a virtual keyboard patch and wifi-only access for a while, until I got my veer and palm did a remote wipe of the pre-. I also have switched to att, with 4 different GSM Pre phones so don't foresee going back to sprint anytime soon.

if you could let me have it that would be amazing do you have a paypal?

you know you can't just stick the new comms board in the pre2 and activate it, right? It has to be hooked into original Pre- hardware and activated before you put it into the Pre2 hardware.

I have two Sprint Pre- phones that were in good working condition before I switched to Verizon for a pair of Pre2's (coverage was more of a concern so no need to Frakenpre them).

PM me if you are still interested in one or both.

natepre509 · 10/24/2011, 08:02 PM

PM me your address and I'll drop the pre- in the mail. it'll be my good deed for the week.

natepre509 · 10/24/2011, 08:14 PM

I booted the pre- up for the first time in a couple of months and for some reason it went right past the registration screen and my virtual keyboard was still intact! but I still don't need it and it's still not usable as a phone(there is some sort of connection issue between the front half of the phone and the back half which results in random crashes/reboots/power offs). So I'm running a secure full erase. Provided your in the U.S. and I can use priority flat rate mail I'll aim to drop it in the mail soon.

After 2 months of sitting on a table, being powered off the battery was still 100%, which was surprising to me I would of expected some level of drop off.

natepre509 · 10/24/2011, 08:59 PM

another data point, after I did a full erase, I booted it, chose the language and the pre- activated on it's own. Note I have not had Sprint service on this Pre- since January, I'm not even a Sprint(phone) subscriber (since August).

Earlier this year, out of nowhere this same Pre- managed to register a new voicemail on my sprint account, it was correct in that there was a new voice mail but the phone had no access to my account, which I confirmed when I tried to check VM on that phone (my sprint phone at the time was a Sanyo) and got an automated voice saying the phone wasn't authorized to connect or something.

So it's a haunted phone. your still welcome to have it though.
