I decided to wait a few days to make sure and I can confirm that the new ROM update does fix the “Beep of Death” issue that was on this unit originally.;

This was easy.  I called the “no hold time” number on SprintPCS info and they transferred me.  I said exactly what was listed and he said, “Please hold” and then to press *2 Talk and 1 for English.  Worked like a champ!
