I am also switching and was wondering if you received any kind of feedback on your question. After sending a considerable ammount of time on the web researching these phones, I can only say that I have ruled out the Z500a. I have read way to many poor reviews on this phone for several different reasons.
I'm migrating over to Cingular and having trouble deciding between the SE Z500a, Motorola V220, and the new Samsung P207.
Any thoughts on which direction I should go?
