Cool. If only I was able to relocate (I love Mountain View). I'm stuck in north Texas.

But hey-- my office is in Dallas, current team is in Helsinki, and I work from home over half the time anyway, so one never knows...

Then why those same carriers should offer affordable data rates to use with such modem?
If they do, I bet they will ban voip, both in their TOS and by heavily filtering the service.

1) before I respond, be aware that you've gone way off topic. maybe next time you can start a new thread...

2) don't buy a handheld touch screen device based primarily on hw specs or functionality checklists. I can think of no other category of device where the OS and UI are more important.

As others have noted, US data plans may not be on par with those in Europe but there are some here that are reasonable.

While carriers may not always subsidize wifi-enabled phones, they don't block them from the networks outright (I was using my N80 with the Fring service for a while on AT&T).

So far the carriers have managed to anger US citizens but not enough for outright rebellion. If they go as far as you are betting, then that will be the last straw. Already one California court has struck down a seemingly solid principle of US carrier tactics (early termination fees). More to come. The tide is turning, and if the carriers resist, they will lose.

Hi,

It's hard to read you post. My internal reading voice sounds silly because it emphasizes in the wrong places.
I always capitalize a standalone a, the capitalized one in an was a mistake.

I can see where it may make things difficult.

Thanks for the insight.

When I post here on this site, I will try to do lower case because it looks like a few others agree with you, based on the "thanks" you got for your post.

Thanks to ARJWright for the clarification to my earlier post.

David

We noticed. But why? It's completely non-standard and does make your posts rather hard to read.
