Has anyone noticed any firmware issues/bugs at this point? I have never acquired a new release ATT phone utilizing the first version of the firmware and am a tad dissapointed with the amount of crippling ATT did to the A200 platform - email client more specifically. Any additional insights?

GPS has been neutured.
I think you'll have to connect the headset to use it ... which I believe is FALSE.
Is there a Video Calling camera on the phone? I've heard AT&T removed this as well.

Suggestion?
* Take down all data settings on that AT&T Branded phone! Return it for a full refund and reneg on any new contract you've had with this phone ... they've ALREADY pulled it from their site for sale!

Then order it directly from SE and see how their UNBRANDED version fairs. If you STILL do not like it, wait a few more weeks mid May and get the W760i.

I am going to return it and get the w760, although I have no idea as to when it will really be released through ATT. The price on the w760 is going to be high.

For the Z750a, the video calling camera does not exist to the left of the ear speaker. As for the unbranded version of the phone, I have been having trouble getting used to the clamshell form factor. I am coming from a three year old S710a. There are obvious differences in the older A100 platform vs. A200 and now that I have tasted the new platform, there is no turning back, suffice to say as a temporary fix until the w760 is available. I am thinking of getting the k850 now that it can be had for $399(after SonyStyle credit of $100 for a SS credit card opening).
