Re: GSM: The Joy of Unbranding....
Touche 
Two things I *do* appreciate about the z750a are the FM radio and the fact that it's a flip phone that includes the 2100 UMTS band for my (albeit) infrequent trips across the pond. I actually grabbed a refurb for a family member for this reason.
Keep in mind the convenience large touch/screens has already started to sway the market in the other direction. Granted, sometimes this is not implemented very well on some of the handsets offered by the various U.S. wireless carriers. Also, FWIW I am not forced to pay ATT $30/mo for data, and the cap you mention is a soft one. Only tethering a laptop via my Tilt will ever get me into hot water per se. Having wifi makes this device ultimately extremely flexible to rarely have to bother w/ 3G data. I really only add $15 data when traveling stateside for extended periods away from wifi.
