I also have the same problem with the browser icon not appearing, but it doesn't stop me because the T-Zones icon does appear which lets me access sites, I just have to go to the menu and open my Bookmarks.
As far as getting the phone outright, I did walk into my local AT&T shop and asked to purchase the phone. He went to the computer and asked me for my Cell Phone number. I said, I don't have Cingular service, he nearly flipped upside down like "What is this clown thinking?" He said "I can't sell it to you without being a customer". I went back and forth a second and he finally said, "Let me check with my manager" and he ran off. Back about 5 minutes later, he said "I figured out how to do it." and then he asked if I was going to use it elsewhere and reminded me that it was locked.
Anyway, I got it without too much trouble, but it defeinitely threw the sales guy for a loop.
