Should I unlcok/unbrand my Bold to disable the 3g?
I've had the Bold for a couple months and love the phone, however it drops calls when switching from 3g to edge or the other one. It is a known issue and with the Iphone you can disable the 3g, which helps solve the dropped call issue a great deal. However I can't disable 3g on the Bold, but I have somebody who will unlock and unbrand, which will enable me to switch the 3g off. This sounds like a great idea, but I'm not familiar with this process. I trust the person and he guarentees it. Does this sound like a good idea until AT&T fixes the issue?
Thanks,

I posted above and I did have the same problem. Before you do that try to get the new version of the Bold's OS and load it. Even if you are up to date it fixed mine. If I notice it happening again I was told by a BB rep to reload it again. Takes about 5 minutes so it won't kill your day. After that I haven't noticed it again.

So far so good since I disable the 3g... The battery life has doubled for the most part. Usueally I have to plug it in the truck, but I'm testing it and it just lost the first little bar today. With the 3g, it would've been down 2 at least. I watched CNN video and it streamed fine...not sure the big appeal of 3g, but I'll switch back when I need internet fast.
