I was thinking the same thing. I hardly ever use my phone except well, to make calls. There is constantly a bunch of AT&T crap running and it just doesn't have that personalized feel
I'm thinking about putting it on ebay since I really don't want it anymore as is.

I'm sure attn1 is not the only person ordering the xtc clip.check around see if there's anyone in your area.I've got a friend with a repair shop in Chattanooga who is probably going to order one.don't give up yet.

Will the xtc clip for sure do the job?

Its not very cheap so I'd be better off mailing my phone to someone that owns one. Any takers?

No this will not work for the Aria. It has been determined that a software solution is not possible for the Aria. Currently the only option for an Aria with HBOOT version 1.02 is a hardware device.
I wish the clip wasn't so expensive. Its ridiculous.

I agree, no one can make some sort of USB solution that does the same thing?
Or maybe instructions to make one...

I thought we need more than a gold card or is it that simple? Has anyone tried this out?
Edit: we need more than a gold card. What does the xtc clip do other than make gold cards that makes it possible to root?

A gold card will only allow you to install a HTC ROM that has a different model id. For example, if you have an AT&T branded Aria, a gold card would allow you to run a RUU for the Hong Kong Aria or European Gratia and debrand it.
It has already been proven that flashing another RUU with a different HBOOT version will install the ROM but it WILL NOT over write the current HBOOT 1.02, so you wouldn't be able to root.
That is what I have heard as well. I have tried this gold card method and it does not work. The RUU fails trying to write hboot.
OK, so it seems the only way to overwrite the current HBOOT is to gain S-OFF on the Aria, which is what the XTC Clip can do.
Bingo! Looking to get one of the pay as you go versions as they are cheaper.
