I debranded mine so quickly I don't even know what I lost, but I doubt there was anything worth keeping 😛 No regrets 😄

Most people seem to believe the benefits of debranding outweigh the cons (as do I) - but two things to consider first that are specific to the at&t firmware, so if you care about them you may not want to debrand.
The IM client - at&t's use of the OZ client allows them to convert IM activity to SMS messages for billing purposes (instead of charging it as data). I have not seen anyone indicate they've found a replacement client that uses SMS for IM activity.
Cingular Video - you won't have access to the at&t MediaMall once you debrand. Most items are available elsewhere anyway - usually for less or even free. But if you were intending to use CV, you will not be able to do so once you debrand.

The maybe the biggest (of a small set of concerns) is not so much getting to CV but the MEDIA SERVER. I can watch youtube on my 760 (I have unlimited data plan) as it is now, but if I debrand, I'd like to know if I wouldn't be able to access the media server to occasionally watch things on youtube or rather, access the MEDIA SERVER. Beyond that, whatever else I lose by debranding is made up in what I gain - more stock functions, no nag screeens ("allow access to?"), etc.
Thoughts?
