No no what he is saying is that if you get the msl 'master subsidy lock code' then you might be able to just put your mdn 'phone number', and msid 'Mobile Subscriber Identification' into the programming of the ppc6800 and use it on your account, rather then your pearl...
and an easy way to get that lock code is to use the program listed in the 'sticky thread' thats under the ppc6800 section...
Lemme know if that helps you any?
***UPDATE***
But also, this goes for anyone else that might be reading this and is thinking about buying off of EBAY, make sure that you get the esn from the seller, and check with the mobile company before purchasing the phone!! Cause just think, if there weren't resources like this web-site then you would have been ripped off!!
