what's not functional?

[ian douglas]

After the modem firmware upgrade from Michael, I was able to connect and 
make a phone call with an AT&T SIM card that didn't work before. And a 
TMobile SIM card that didn't work at all before would now at least 
register on the network and show signal strength, but would not 
make/receive a phone call. Your mileage will vary, though, depending on 
the type of SIM card you have and where you're located.
