I found this link on the Amaze GPS Forum (it was on a Pixon thread).  A poster found this on a French website, which means it would be based on the European 3G frequencies (or does the hardware itself simply control this?).

I am downloading it as I write, but other then some limited experience with firmware on some older, simpler (non-samsung) devices, I don't feel comfortable being a trailblazer with this one. 

My thought is that this might be a good experiment for the memoir - which is basically the same phone. If not, since the Pixon firmware has surfaced, hopefully the behold and memoir's are not to far behind.

PS - it downoaded Ok and is for the 8800.  I would attach it, but it is 88mb

Note - downloaded an un-zipped.  main filee are:
   
"FactoryFs_M8800_Open_Europe_Common.ffs"
"Rsrc_M8800_Open_Europe_Common.rc1"
"Rsrc2_M8800(Low).rc2"
"amss_compressed.bin"
Plus a BOOTFILES folder with 5 .mbn files

PS2 - I had it all loaded up (on Multiloader) and ready to go (memoir was in bootloader mode), but am holding off to get some input from members with more experience with this - specifically as to whether trying Pixon firmware on the memoir is a good idea or not.

I read some were that the Pixon firmware didn't work. I don't thing I will try any firmware flash unless it adds something I just really can't live without after reading on the Behold forum that TMO has locked down the Behold even more than it already was. It appears that people getting newer Beholds and have the 5.99 or 9.99 data plans are locked out of all 3rd party apps like Opera and Amaze GPS. I have the 5.99 plan so if they try to pull that crap with the Memoir I will just leave it the way it is.

it's time for modding
