Alternative to Firmware Upgrade????
I just got off the phone with a Cingular tech, and in light of what I've been reading re: Cingulars new firmware, I asked her for a phone exchange. She then told me that they have to "trouble shoot" prior to authorizing a replacement. She then instructed me to remove the battery while the phone was still powered on (she called it a software reset). So I do....and much to my surprise, the call log was still there and NO prompt to save Sim contacts!!! I even powered it off in the traditional manner twice more, and it worked!!

I've tested the 3G sim & 2 of the 3 issues I had went away. I do still get the issue where it turns off then back on. Hey, if you are having reception issues, pick your network. You can do this now with the new sim. But when you get the choices, pick the second cingular on the list. It's better....
