I am not sure about ATT turning that mode off, but it could be because ATT bought 3G spectrum from Ericsson and they sold their 2G to Suncom. ATT wants the user to just use 3G so that they can earn the returns of what they have invested, if thats the case then its going to be with any 3G phone.
However here is how you can turn off the 3G mode and just use 2/2.5 G
settings-->connectivity-->mobile networks-->GSM & 3G Networks
select the one which you want GSM=2/2.5G
and other would be GSM & 3G
this feature is going to be there in all SE phones.
regarding the talk time in 3G mode, max this technology can achieve is 5hrs and that is also network operator dependent, if the phone is constantly searching for a signal from near by Base station then there is more requirement put on your power amplifier of phone, so it will use more of the battery life, same thing is true when your bluetooth is also on. so turn off the bluetooth when not in use (this also keeps away the hackers off from reaching ur phone)
then there are certain other things which consume the battery life like ur usage applications and the way you use your phone.
last but not the least, never let your phone battery die completely and then charge it, always recharge your phone when the battery is like 30 % left, this will ensure long battery life and its also more safe to use phone when battery has more than 15% of the charge remaining.
you can go and buy this phone, you won't regret.
cheers

Thanks for the reply. But in some forums it was mentioned that ATT disabled the option to switch 3G off in USA. Is it true? Even with 3G, is battery coming 5 hours? if so then I am fine & I will buy this phone.

that is not true, when u read on some of the forums that just somebody's opinion, when the company post its specs including the talk time they have that analysis done over a very big sample size and lot of research goes into that to keep good talk time, sony ericsson is generally famous for having good battery life phones.
the talk time in GSM mode is 9 Hrs and its 5 hrs in UMTS mode, now UMTS talk time is always going to be less because thats the inherent drawback of tecnology irrespective of the company phone u buy, its going to be less.
Make sure ur Bluetooth is turned off when not in use, and try to use GSM mode for voice call by turning off the 3G mode.

Z610 and Z750 are whole lot of different phones, in terms of hardware, Z750 has more advanced hardware with 3G capibility, and that is the biggest and greatest difference. Z750 can be used in any corner of the world, there will not be a single place in world where you can't use this phone as it has various bands for usage and technologoies like GSM+EDGE+UMTS+HSDPA

bsement reception depends on the isolation provided by the basement walls mainly, if the isolation is stronger the recieved signal strenth would be weak ofcourse it depends on the network signal strength and the antenna performance of the phone. i have used this phone is my basement of house and it worked good.

There is a thread regarding the z750 battery issue on AT&T's website. It's under their support/forum/sony ericsson section. There are many having to charge the phone daily even with minimal usage. A few have gotten a new battery from Sony Ericsson, so there may indeed be a problem either with the batteries shipped with the phone or the phones constantly trying to find a 3G signal and thus draining the battery quickly.

I am currently using a Z610i and its looks exactly like the Z750 my query is how comes i cannot be able to secure my phone by initiating phone lock codes? and to answer on the charging issue i have never used any other phone apart from Sony Ericsson's and their charge retainance is 100% satisfactory.
