BlackBerry virgin here (locked/unlocked question)

Hi,

I have the Nokia E51 right now, love it and all, but I now realize I really need a full-sized smart phone. I thought the candy bar sized phone is all I need, and even though I am an Apple Fan Boy, I have zero desire to get the iPhone. I do have the iTouch, and it is neat, and 3G on it would make it better, but I don't want it for a phone.

Anyways, I did see the small form factor BB, and was intrigued by it, people at work have it and seemed need but forgot about it.

I was then looking at new Nokia phones (I am a Nokia fan since my first one in 1999), and saw the E71. It had a very black berry feel to it, and was really going to get it, then I realized it is the same phone as I got now, just different form factor.

Thanks. It sounds like a lot of iPhone 3G people all went back to BB. My boss loves his iPhone and is making fun of me for even considering BB.

Can I tether the phone to my laptop, because I often do that in hotels to avoid paying for hotel wifi, esp when 3G is faster than my corporate T1 (at least on my Nokia).

So if manual 3G to 2G is disabled how do I enable it?

I don't care of the AT&T store, but the idea I can't swap out SIM cards when I travel does bug me, since I rather not pay huge international roaming.

Good luck getting the unlock code from at&t, they wouldn't unlock a phone for me and I work there, they gave me a run around about it. Still annoys me to this day.
