Just because you can browse the Internet on it, doesn't mean that it has WiDEN. It can have iDEN. In my first post, I explained how to check it.

Can anyone assist? Thanks!

(To get to Trace Mode, press the pound key, star key, Menu button, and finally the right arrow. Do not use a combination of them, just press each one. And, do not wait as this will make it "time out".) Then, you go down to "Err/Channel" and press the right arrow key to change it to Yes. Press the Back button, or "Hang up". Begin to do data transfer (browse around or look at your account balance/status). Look at the top left of the screen, and if you see ""WPCH" then you have WiDEN. If you see PCH, then you do not have WiDEN enabled.

For those of you who are confused about enabling widen on your handset here are a few tips to help you out.

1. You cannot just use the regular version of the Motorola Carrier program to enable this feature. You must have the Depot patch for it.

2. Once you have the patch you can go to user ergonomics/tiering flags and you will see the widen option with a check box beside it. This program has a whole lot of editable options compared to the regular versions.

3. A serial cable for a older version phone I60/I90/I95/I500 ect can be used for the newer phones but the center plastic piece has to be broken off. These cables are extremely cheap on ebay and most have the charging port.

4. There are 1000's of programs freely available for these handsets that are downloadable to your pc most will work for emulators even the ones that have to access the internet so you can use progs on your carpc.

5. If you pm me I can give you a large list of sites to find information and help on modding these handsets to your needs. Other handsets with widen available but hidden as well are I760 I670 I850 I855 I930

6. Widen is still only available in a limited number of markets all other access will be at 19200kbps no matter what your pc says it is connected at that is just the speed data is being transferred from the modem(phone) to the pc at.

7. If you cannot get your pc to connect, You keep have modem harware errors and such Check you make sure that you have LCP Extensions unchecked In your network settings under the server settings tab.

I was thinking about picking up the I455 but was curious, does the phone have to remain open while you're accessing the internet or running mologogo? I doubt it's going to be much of a concern for me either way but I'd just rather have it be closed if I could.
