I didn't explain what I thought should happen.

When I pick a firmware file that has z750a in the name, I expected the file to have the phone report that it is a z750a phone and not report being a z750i.

I would like someone from davinci team to tell me if there is a generic US or North American firmware that will make the phone GENERIC Z750A and the phone will report it's a "A" rather than an "I"

Meanwhile, for the active readers, here's a list of what is in the firmware update:

1. Video phone calling - if there really is a second camera in the "A" and if you can get streaming media settings correct and can get ATT to let you to subscribe to "Video Select"

2. GPS - I get accuracy to 10 meters, works best in car with charger attached, can drain battery in 2 hours or less. Must use app in firmware, newer Google won't work as well. Locator Services can be left active and minimized so that Google will immediately know where you are. But do it connected to a charger.

3. Blogging from camera as a 'send to blog' (Blogspot.com)

4. RSS Desktop - has as many features as an iPhone's. Auto scroll, configurable updates

5. Podcasts (video and audio) I believe that it may be configurable by the rss feeds rather than the PC Suite sync method.

6. Exchange ActiveSync without any shortcomings, specific Exchange sync.

7. SyncML for everything else.

8. Email push client - works with ANY pop or imap server, and can filter out unwanted domains, etc from the 'push'

9. Network Sharing function, phone can be part of office network via USB or Bluetooth

10. Choice between GSM & 3G vs GSM only is now unblocked, fixing the battery life issues. Even in combined mode, if the phone isn't updating it will drop down to GSM/Edge when not actually using the web.

11. FOTA (Firmware Over The Air) updates

What you lose:
XM radio and other ATT Applications (free and not free) TV streaming (which may be correctable with two things, the phone reporting it's a 'A' type and the mystery of the "Network Streaming" settings which ATT has not revealed like the other internet connection settings.
