Good stuff here!

Question. Motorola MB502 Charm is a US (and recently India) only device that supposedly is identical to Flipout hardware-wise. Are there any de-branded images available for it?

Tried this today, all completed nice and easily. Nice not to see MotoBlur defiling my phone with its presence ;)

Thanks Jutley!

Sorry to open a really old thread but I just wondered if any one had any firmware links for this phone so I could debrand a cpl of flipouts I have just acquired? The last UK unbranded would be great but the euro one will do. 

 

Many thanks.
