You've got to be kidding me. It's that easy to do an end run around the (supposed) costs and certifications required for mobile voice devices? It seems to me that, if this were true, the carriers would all be taking advantage of this and selling handsets that used the ostensibly data-only standards to do voice. Wouldn't that be cheaper for them?

I don't get this.
