first off... let's get something straight.. you are the 'other'
secondly.. what did i have negative to say? that you double posted? it's a fact, not me being mean.. I told you how to fix it. you actually get a lot more than .5 seconRAB. before i learned that method i was able to copy an entire address book of aprox 150 contacts by hand through repeatedly accessing the contacts and spelling the name of the last contact i got to skip down. i was able to write down about 2-3 contacts at a time. (yes this was a huge PITA) if you are not able to get it into airplane mode you can boot the phone into bootloader by removing the battery (to break the reboot cycle) and holding * and # simultaniously while turning on the phone. you can then flash a monster pack onto the phone once in bootloader.
edit: yes i normally am an a-hole.. but i really don't think i said anything mean to you =(
