By providing Caribou only with the IP address of the target cardkey device, a single-button "Unlock" will access the cardkey system, unlock all available doors in sequence, allow 30 seconds for entry, and then re-lock all those same doors. Caribou has the capability of performing a brute-force of any customized security PIN used with the system.

Check out Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo if you're looking for a custom ROM as well (and want to try something besides Cyanogen - one I'm thinking of trying out when I get some free time). Unlocked Sprint Hotspot (no need for separate Tether app), other Sprint bloat removed (but available to sideload), Nice transparent Sense UI and LauncherPro themes, the list goes on, of course.
