Available GIN Apps after V07 update

🙂 After reading some of the posts here, I feel I need to ask a question. Can someone tell me what Ring Tone apps and what Get Going apps are visible? I am thinking of getting V07 flashed soon, but am wondering what GIN apps I will lose contact with? Is MyCast and Verizon Super Pages still there? I just read where Sony Music box was not available. Who at VZW can we call to find out when the GIN apps we like to use will be back? 😕 Sounds like they rushed 07 out so they could get their Vcast Music up and running and forgot to test the rest of the software. 😳 Not sure how long the 07 flash should take, but I had a store Rep tell me the other day it would take 2 hours 🙄 Thanks for any help.

Sony Music Box is still not available. "Most" other GIN apps are back (including Games). I've been using VZW Deluxe for my music downloads.

My flash to 07 (from 04) took like 15-20 minutes or so in an extremely busy store.

Can you tell me if MyCast Weather is still in the Get Going section, after getting V07?

How exactly does VZW Deluxe work? Do you pay for a subscription or per song you download? I've been a little skeptical to try it. I too used to use Sony Music Box to get true ring tones.

VZW is pretty cool in that you can buy a "bundle" and then buy tones at a discount essentially. And most of them are all true tones and sound great. Yes, I could start hacking the phone with Bitpim, but the key is (for me anyway) that I don't want full MP3s or whatever as my tones and it takes time to chop them up to the point of being considered a ring I want to hear over and over. That saved work is definitely worth the effort of using this service...
