W580i --> Debranding --> XS++ : help topic !! need tutorial

... will debranding screw up my ability to use my phone service through AT&T.

I'm also concerned about this... obviously the phone should still function like normal, but what about web browsing and text messaging? Does anyone else have Rogers and can tell me if there are any side effects to debranding?

I'm a newbie too, I have yet to debrand my phone, since its CID53. So far what I've learned about debranding is that it removes all the crap AT&T puts on it(mostly links to AT&T websites and medianet and AT&T startup/shutdown logos). And it will replace it with generic non-branded menu/applications and it also removes any restrictions that have been put on by AT&T. (same for all other service providers).
