I'm currently using an HTC Touch (Vogue, Unlocked, Custom Rom, yadda yadda yadda) and I recently came to acquire a used HTC P4000 (Telus's Titan version).

I still have some monkeying around to do with the P4000 (Upgrade to newest official rom among other things.) to see if I'm interested in using it as my primary phone instead of the Touch. Can someone explain if it's possible to have the P4000 running on the Bell network- and who I'd have to talk to in order to set that up.

I'm assuming that it would need to be unlocked first (not sure how to do the p4000, I did my Vogue without any issues though).

Alrighty then.

Did a little forum lurking and I now have a fully unlocked P4000 running DCD's 4.1.2 rom with the Bell Carrier. Boots instantaneously and works wonderfully. The man is a bloody genius.

Now, as to my original question - I have my MSL for both my current HTC Touch/Vogue (Bell) and my recently acquired P4000 (Telus).

Is there a way/method/guide I can follow to manually program the P4000 to work on the Bell network in place of my Touch?
Do I find an underhanded/former/corrupt Bell employee that will transfer my settings for $25?
Do I see my friend who has a friend who's cousin knows this stuff?
Do I take it to the Bell store and say "My phone no workie, I has replacement, make workie?"

I hate to trash on my Vogue but this P4000 is pretty effing slick. Gotta love the Wi-Fi and actual movie acceleration for non-horrible playback.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Your biggest problem will be to see Bell will accept the P4000 ESn number in there database. If they won't then flashing and unlocking isn't worth your time.
