Disable ATT 'Tab Top' and keep Active Display?

[XiangPow]

as most know the att branded N75s have the new ( )
Tab Top feature which is kind of crap...they let you disable it however it seems you can't have the Active Display tho, to show calendar events etc..

they make you choose between the Tab Top and the regular display...does anyone know if there is a way to disable the Tab Top and keep the original Active Display going?

thanks

You're probably going to have to unbrand it to get back the proper active display.

Since the AT&T firmware has a higher version number than the Nokia firmware, the Nokia Software Updater will find no update. The AT&T-branded phone has a different product code from the Cingular-branded model. The product code for the AT&T model is 0545060 while the Cingular-branded model has a product code of 0527376. The generic product code used when you debrand from Cingular is 0541358.

Man I hate operator branded phones.. Even my blackberry annoys me with this, and it's branding isn't even that intrusive. I haven't owned an operator branded S60 handset in years though, and am not looking forward to T-mobile eventually getting an AWS S60 since it'll probably mean buying branded again.

Anyway sorry to rant and threadjack but have you thought about one of the third party today screens as a stopgap? Did Handy Today ever get updated for v3?

One good feature of the Tab Top is that the actual phone number shows in the Call History and you do not have to press Use number/Edit to see which number called you. It even shows the number and time for each call rather than just the last call.

What does this Tab Top look like? Does anyone have screens or video of it?

[MR.CRAZY]

yeah someone needs to install the free app screenshot and take some snaps of what this sucka looks like.

bleh, what horrible news.... one of my favorite aspects of S60 is being able to view active tasks/calendar etc.. on my homescreen...

AT&T's insistence on dumbing down the S60 OS is beyond me
getting the N75 for bout $120usd is a decent price tho, but bleh


btw, will try to get a screen shot up of this Tab Top


[edit] even tho the price was right, this phone is going back...them killing the S60 Active Display is actually a deal breaker for me
