Passed on the Z500, got the v505 instead.
After looking at the phone I decided not to get it. Its a nice phone but there were a few things I did not like.
1. No bluetooth. I think that was a huge mistake not including it. I use it all the time.
2. It seemed a little big. The hinge at the top is huge.

When you do have to migrate over, you will be issued a new SIM card, and that SIM card will not work in your V505. ENS allows your phone to use both the Cingular and AT&T networks evenly, allowing for better coverage and more seamless movement between the networks as your phone can use either. With an AT&T handset and AT&T SIM, your phone will favor the AT&T network and will only use the Cingular network when it absolutly cannot find an AT&T signal, even if the closest cingular signal is stronger. On top of THAT, if you somehow manage to get a 32K sim after migrating, and activate, Cingular has sy...
