Just to keep the documentation clear, I just learned from one of my
co-managers in my department that he called them back after receiving
his phone and did verify that the AT&T equipment would "NOT" be
supported as some point and time but they could not give a time frame.
They did however allow him to return his new equipment with no
penalty.
And before anybody says it, yes, I'm talking about the GSM equipment.

| The best solution is to circumvent the locked cingular phone. Just
buy your new V3 online unlocked then pop your sim into it and have a
great day. I know thats what I have. 2qwik

The Web portion will work properly *if* the unlocked phone is configured
properly. See the FAQ below.
