Makes sense. Unlimited data to the PHONE is damned near useless because
the PHONE can't do anything but the simplest of webpages and email. If
they turn the MODEM function off, they don't have to worry about you
actually USING all that "unlimited" bandwidth for a real
computer....streaming, sharing, downloading, uploading, and all those nasty
computer things that use BANDWIDTH that PHONES are designed NOT to do.

How many gigs/month does WAP or some phone browser lacking javascript,
Flash, Java, media players and codecs, file transfers, etc. use, anyways?
100MB? 200?

My N800 tablet Bluetoothed to the MotoROKR Z6m DUN used 94GB last month,
according to the detailed bill from Alltel.....and noone complained for
$25.
