Once you've rooted your phone (easy to do and the link for instructions is right here on this thread) download Link2SD. The only part that could be troublesome is creating a second partition on your SD card, but once you've done that, you're set to install all sorts of goodies on your phone.

Ok, let's see... First of all, when you start out with a new phone, you're unrooted. You're at the mercy of the crap and gunk that comes installed with your phone. This is typically called "Bloatware." You're simply the owner of the phone and at the mercy of whatever your carrier (in this case...

Just curious, how did you factory reset your Zip? I've been thinking starting fresh with mine and using the knowledge I've gained so far to make it run cleaner and faster.

I used MiniTool Partition Wizard. I made a second partition using the "ext3" format. I'm not even sure if the L75C has a recovery mode... I did a lot of research and could find nothing. I'd like to flash mine one day, but not until I know for certain I'm not going to make a fancy looking...

Scratch that. The problem I was having wasn't because of the NAND being locked. Apparently my partition didn't format properly. I ran MiniTool again, deleted the one I created and made a new one and now Link2SD finds it with no problem!

So, how does one unlock NAND on this rascal? I'd love to move everything (apps and all data) onto SD (already partitioned my card and everything) since it tends to drag a bit when you only have a few things running at the same time.

That one works... and my Zip is officially rooted!!! Thanks!

I did. I got to the point where you type "su" into the shell and and says "access denied." :(
