    Anybody try this yet? It's from Brando. Thinking about using it on OOB 1.1.2 or upgraded 1.1.3.

    its a turbo sim clone. chinese version. correction, its not called 877.

    I use it. only works with OTB 1.1.1 and OTB 1.1.2
    Once you go 1.1.3, you are screwed.

    No unlock needed.

    Hey, I already have that card. The one pictured on the Brando site is exactly the one I received last Thursday after buying it on eBay.

    (I had previously described it here: http://www.hackint0sh.org/forum/showthread.php?t=25318 )

    My experience with it so far is that it isn't worth a shit. I constantly have to reboot the phone due to "No SIM" errors. When it does work, it constantly drops the signal for a few seconds at a time on an average of every few minutes. Which means it drops the call or won't send an sms. I tried it on 1.1.2 (mine is 1.1.2 otb) for a couple of days, then I tried doing the soft update to 1.1.3, and while it does work on 1.1.3, it's exactly as patchy as it was; no better or worse. Then, I went to T-Mobile and got a new SIM, and once again, no difference. I've popped it out and tried to re-seat it probably a hundred times. Nothing helps.

    Maybe, it's not the card, maybe it's my phone, but I think I've pretty much exhausted the possibilities.

    Just a heads up for everyone.

    The eBay seller has been really cool about it, he's sending me a new one, which I should be getting on Friday. I'll report back on it. Maybe I just got a bad one.
