I just tried this and it look pretty good. Don't be discouraged by the scant list of devices or the mention USA carriers, it seems to be capable of working on a much broader list of devices and networks. I have it running fine on my UT6700 running on the Telus network.

Pretty neat program, but does anyone know where the video files are cached to, if they are? Those would be some big files if they couldn't be cleaned out and the orogram doesn't appear to give a choice for storage location. Thanks for any thoughts.

It says my 6700 on Sprint is not supported.

Weird. That's one that is listed as supported, right?

Says my T-Mobile MDA is not supported, too, although it is listed as a supported device. Oh well.

All the data gets stored to the install folder. There should be a folder called resources in the install folder. All the data is in there.
