bah, looks like I need to pick one up... I saw this and thought it might be possible...

BEFORE STARTING
1. know that there are multiple ways to flash a rom to your phone. here are a few
a. using windows, get a flashing package from one of the xda devels, and replace the RUU_signed.nbh file in that package with whatever you are trying to flash (try NFSFAN's package, it has always worked well for me for this; some carrier packages don't work), renamed the same way
b. use a 2GB or smaller micro SD card with the .nbh named VOGUIMG.NBH in root, then place the phone in bootloader mode (see #2)
c. use linux and HTCFlasher - don't know much more about this method, find it here

Thought I could use a) or c) without an SD card...

You can flash the nbh without an sd card, but for our android (so far) the nbh doesn't contain the system image, just the kernel and some other stuff. You have to have an sdcard to get the system image in. That's different than winmo, where the nbh has everything in it. I suppose we could go that way eventually, but it's so easy to switch things around without having to reflash with the way it is now...

For reference, the nbh is about 3 MB. The system image is 50 MB or more depending on version, etc.

That makes perfect sense. I'll pickup a SD card on my way home. They are 'micro-' SD correct?

yeah and seeing as what happend to my phone i think it would be a bad idea to make it like that. its less ware on the phone and it is super easy to switch to a different rom
