Come to NY and you'll find a free phones with a year contract from Cingular and T-Mobile...I have a friend and 2 co-workers who has a t616 from Cingular that got it FREE, with a year contract and it's unlocked!... I got mine FREE from T-mobile with a year contract and now it's unlocked (emailed t-mobile after 2 weeks) also upgraded to R1L...

Well to make it clear, the GPRS icon being blocked has NOTHING to do with T-mobile and their service! It has everything to do with someone making a mistake in a setting for the data connection preferred connection in the phone settings in the customization firmware and then blocking the feature of changing it.
If you think Cingular is better than T-mobile so be it. Cingular is still on lame @$$ TDMA where I live so don't tell that they are better. NOBODY has better GSM coverage in the US than T-mobile at the moment. AT&T will have matching coverage once the roaming situation is all cleared up between them and finally brought up to speed. If you think the Cingular is better because their phone does not block the GPRS icon (T-mobile probably didn't intend to block it either, it seems to be more of a mistake than on purpose) yet their coverage is much smaller than T-mobile, then good for you and I applaud you for such ignorance.
I am the original poster of this thread and it was not intended to become a "T-mobile sucks, all others are better" thread as we clearly know that T-mobile IS the MAJOR GSM provider in the US and not the others.
Having said all that, the GPRS service is not perfect there are a ton of misconfigured towers where I live where GPRS shows up active but unavailable and I can tie it to individual towers. Well not any more since I no longer have my indicator. But once I get the generic SE firmware it'll be all for the better.
Oh and while you're so happy with Cingular or AT&T for that matter, try to get them to send you a subsidy unlock code free of charge for any of their customized and locked phones! I hate to rub it in, but T-mobile is the best provider for the cheapest price. If you can show me another provider that allows you to tak 300 minutes any time, unlimited weekend minutes, all with free long distance and free roaming, allows you to send 300 SMS messages for free (even international SMS that actually WORKS to most countries) gives you 1MB GPRS data that can be used for anything (including POP e-mail, wap or MMS, no charge per MMS message) for $29.99 a month, has a larger coverage than T-mobile lets you roam to Europe for $1 a minute and call Europe for $0.59 a minute I'll switch over right now.
rhenzen, you mean you got your T610 for free from T-mobile by only EXTENDING your current contract? I don't think so! I got the phone for $250 by extending my contract from November to August. I think that is a pretty good deal. I guess you guys get better deals in NY. And we all know that T-mobile is pretty good about unlocking their phones free of charge (I already posted that fact, I had them unlock 4 phones for me already) but the phone when you got it was locked originally wasn't it? And you had to sign a contract didn't you? There is no such thing as free lunch as that guy tried to portray it that T-mobile is evil and we should never accept customized phones that are subsidy locked. You're preaching to the choir.
I think we can consider this thread solved all we need now is T-mobile T610 owners to call T-mobile and gripe about the gprs indicator so they would get off their butt and fix it.

Sick of hearing about the gprs indicator already? There's only going to be another BILLION people asking about it, so get ready or don't check new messages.
In reality, as a developer, that steaming pile of crap SE dares to call "java" irks me a whole lot more than a basically useless icon. But I doubt SE could care less about what I think so no point in going into that.
