Yes, you will be able to use the internet, you'll just need to get the MEdiaNet settings on your phone by visiting the SE site and having them sent to your phone as an SMS.

And congrats on scoring a W760 out of a W580i. 🙂

Access to MediaNet including the MediaServer i.e. streaming video?
And thanks, the CSR was a rockstar in helping me out.

Think carefully before debranding - there are a couple of things you will lose that may be important to you: 1) the ability to use IM and have it billed as SMS usage 2) access to at&t purchased content at the MediaMall, Cingular Video, etc. (Most of these things or similar are available elsewhere, however - many times free or less expensive). Also if you aren't technically competent, you can brick your phone - and you likely void your warranty.
If you don't consider yourself to be technically competent, yet you want to move forward with debranding - take a look at DaVinci Team. It is an on-line paid service - but it's not very expensive (probably about $15).
There is also a free method available, using A2Uploader and SEUS (SE Updater Service) - search for those keywords in order to find threads re: that possibility.

yes, i am aware of the possible cons, but i feel the pros are far worth it.
i have found a simple writeup for debranding the w760 and it is here: Debrand your 760- easy Steps
i hope this helps some one else. i have to get the usb cable cause att doesnt include ANYTHING.

Not sure why one would want IM billed as SMS. Use eBuddy and it goes as data. Put on branded or debranded phone.
Oz "Mobile Email" product goes away with a de-brand. From trying it today on a 2600 Nokia, I say good riddance. You get S/E mail tool with the de-brand, and it beats all other email products that I have seen and used, even gmail java applet. Add the $15 data package and let there be no surprises. These mid range S/E phones are excellent, particularly de-branded.
