...those who currently have the Ericson t68 are being automatically sent a new "free" t226.
But *if you use it*, you have just committed to a new 2-year term.

Where did you get your information from regarding the automatic 2 year contract renewal?

yeah, it's pretty nice. The service hasn't been activated yet but I like the feel of it. Nice and solid.
There's people on howardforums saying you can upgrade the firmware to a v600 to play videos. interesting but haven't looked into it much

Yeah, there are tons of things it supposedly fixes and improves, like the screen lag when you flip it open. If they'd only release the v600 here, life would be great.

I've got zero screen lag on my V300 as well. I've read about battery and software issue (like reboots or shutdowns) on HoFo but I have not had any of those problems either. I have only had the phone for about a week and a half, it's got the A5R firmware on it.
