That's strange, I've got the Sprint unit and it's detailed in the manual too although it's the one you have to download rather than the worthless one it comes with.
I can't do it in any of the advanced menus. The port forwarding advanced menu only has a list of common incoming applications like FTP, Telnet, HTTP and you can't edit the port for them. And there is no extra fields to put in custom ports.
@justpete Can you give us the details on how you are able to do it?
Been a while since I looked - custom options are available only for port _filtering_. Duh.
Yep, I'm an idiot, very sorry about that. Geez but I h8 it when I don't rtfm when I oughta.
Thinking maybe something had changed as the Advanced menu wasn't available in the browser i/f over the last day or so (and what the heck was that all about anyway? - it's possessed...) I checked the downloadable manual and there was never an extended custom option for port forwarding, other than in my mucked up memory, but it does say it can't be used unless a fixed IP is purchased from Sprint, otherwise it won't work at all, or so they say.
While its tablet world topping pixel density, Tegra 2 silicon, and fresh to death OS certainly sound awesome, we had to get our grubby mitts on one to see if it's as good as its spec sheet would have us believe.

Customizable port forwarding. I can't do remote desktop or VNC. It only does 'common' ports like ftp, telnet, http.
There're advanced menus for entering custom ports in both the filter and forward windows.
Nope, not on mine. I have the Sprint version, maybe that is possible on the Verizon version. I have the latest firmware also.

So what's the verdict? I would only use this if I could use port forwarding for VNC...
