I dont know if it has anything to do with anything. But, my unlocked T200
sounds the shits in transmit mode after unlocking. It's at Sony Ericson
(Ontario) right now and they can't find anything (yet) wrong with it,
despite the fact the frequent dropped calls with Rogers AT&T.

You can look in your local Buy&Sell and get your phone unlocked for less $40
CAD.

Did you buy it unlocked or was it initially locked by Rogers?

I was given the 'oh but the phones we sell at these prices are heavily
subsidized' line from fido cust service.....now they're not quite sure they
