But I assume at some time folks in Summit did the work on making the AT&T version pass at least by the timer PCC2. Assuming it did, do you have any idea when it was running through and got an official seal as being validated? ᐧ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
