You could always wait till your warranty expires, which is what I'm planning to do with my phone. But then you'd have to wait...
Or is there a way to rebrand the phone (to AT&T, if that makes a difference)?

lots of providers have a possibility to pay for debranding/unlocking & that way u keep the warranty, but it costs a lot (for mine it costs 100$!!!, but i can keep the warranty which is 2 years though)

You will not loose warranty when it is a hardware failure, sony ericsson seems to very tolerant when it is not a software failure.

if (s)he wants to UNLOCK & flash the phone, mine assumption is that that phone is branded, & flashing it & messing with phone software WOULD void the operators warranty

I flashed my k800i with SE firmware. Theoretically, if you rebrand your phone with the provider's firmware, they shouldn't be able to figure it out, right ? Is there a log or something ?
