Cyanogen on NZ Vodafone HTC Magic?

[linuxluver]

Has anyone tried the Cyanogen mods on the HTC Magic from Vodafone in New Zealand? The caveats say this code is for the US only. I don't want to brick my phone, but at the same time, I'm growing a wee bit tired of the Android market not allowing any access at all to paid apps for people in New Zealand. I'd also very much like to have a Wi-Fi AP on my HTC Magic / Androind phone....partly to let my Apple iPod access the Internet through it. Best of both worlds! :-)

Anyone?

Current using it on my NZ Vodafone HTC Magic I bought a month ago no problem. I used the one-click root app about a week ago and working fine. Using market enabler, Google it, to allow me to gain access to paid apps. Only problem was I had to set the APN for Vodafone to gain internet access.

I would really recommended the change as the my phone is working so much better now. The vodafone ROM must be very clunky it would occasionally lag when playing music and using the phone.

However in the unlikely event of bricking your phone don't blame me.

APN Guide:
1) Navigate to: Settings > Wireless > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names
2) I deleted the one that was there by default as it wasn't working for me. Don't remember its name but the address was something like *.vodafone.com.
3) Press the menu key and click "New APN".
4) Enter the following settings:
Name: Vodafone NZ Net (Doesn't have to be this. Can be anything you want really.)
APN: www.vonafone.net.nz
5) Leave all the other fields blank.
6) Press the menu key and Save.
7) Done you should now have 3g/Internet access.

Hope this has been some help. Fell free to ask any questions you have.

OK...so it works. That was my main concern.

Now I guess I'll do the research and work out how to back up what I have so I can restore it if I want to.....or need to.

Total n00b question:

I did this when I first got my phone, however I am cooking my own rom based around 1.6 for NZ Users:

Is it possible for somebody to fetch me a Nandroid Backup of the NZ VF Rom? It will be extremely awesome if you could! Just flick me a PM, Thanks!
