Are all T6xx do not report the time left on the battery?
About the screen. It is not apparent that it is bogus, i.e. my relatives cannot tell that it is. Although I noticed that the first second I turned the phone on...
What about GSM Networks menu? Is there any way I can turn it on, and is it always turned off by default?

I just like to click on it and see the networks I can choose from.
Also, I like to see the list of Preferred Networks.
How many submenus do you have under GSM Networks?

All T616's do not show remaining battery. One thing to remember: Cingular did not make the phone. Asked SE to incorportate certain features, yes.
As far as network availabilty, ain't going to see it. The sim and phone will search for the best appropriate network. Cingular GSM, ATT (soon to be owned by Cingular), T-Mobile.

@porterg:
Cingular did not make the phone — half-true. They did customised the firmware...
GMS Networks: I was and still am able to see the Networks and select Preferred Networks with my T68i, but not with T616. The thing I hate about upgrades most is regression...

Yes, certain software elements were customized for Cingular, just like for T-Mobile and ATT. T68 is 1900, 1800, and 900mhz, so no big deal about network selection. With T616, what Cingular wants to happen is for the phone to pick the best available network, especially as they push nationwide plans, and have gsm 850 up in almost all of the properties that were tdma/analog. If you are say, in NJ, Cingular wants your phone on Cingular's gsm 850 network first. They do not want you switching it to ATT or T-mobile. Why? $$$$$$

@porterg: FYI Since T-Mobile west deployed, they have been piggy-backing off of the other two GSM carriers there, no their ownnetwork... Funny isn't it!
@Constantine: Under GSM Networks, I have New search, Select Network, Search mode, and Prefferred Nets. FYI usin sw R1A054
