"AWS-Sold" phones vs. "Carrier-sold" phones?
ANyone know if there is any difference in the phones sold by AWS as opposed to the one you would buy at, say, the Cingular store? Is there an MB logo or something on it?
Right now Razr's are practically free everywhere and $250 from AWS. I do want the best integration, but i'm not willing to take one for the AWS/MB team either.

The software inside the MB Branded phones has slight differences to enable the phone to communicate with the COMAND head unit.
(Just like the options available to you on the settings area of your speedo are different than mine, based on what equipment is installed in each of our cars.) Phones not destined by Motorola to be sold by MB do not have the unneeded additional software & menu choices loaded inside the phone.
