I'm still afraid to upgrade from 3.0 for fear of bricking my phones.
By the way, AT&T saved me the trouble of disabling my 3G service by disabling it for me by their incompetance. I have texting disabled which got "undisabled" when they switched to MMS. I started getting spam text messages and called to have it stopped. After Captain Clueless had me on the phone for over an hour he managed to disable not only the texting but all internet for that phone. After another hour with another "customer care" specialist I was informed it's because I'm a faithful customer for over two years (all the better to screw you over, my dear) and will have to be changed to a newer (costlier...surprise!!) plan for exactly the same services...except the one I'm paying extra for being disabled. So my plan had to be "grandfathered" in...Meaning no internet on the phone for over a week (until the 16th) and it will cost more when it is. If they figure out the right button to push this time without disabling the entire phone.
Oh, another helpful person covering the case keeps sending me emails, but doesn't answer her phone or return calls.
