1. Ok so two things: 1. Yes, tethering can be blocked and does use a different network path than normal data services (on 3G and 4G networks). 2. Yes, service providers can tell which service you are using because of my first point. In fact, design around billing/rating is based on such differentiation. In the beginning of 3G networks, the companies did not care because not many people exploited this and the billing/rating platforms they had really were not built around such things. Today, now that ppl are exploiting these things, the carriers are taking actions in order to be ablee to get more money out of you. This is not an assumption on my part but a fact as I have been in the industry for 10+ years. Now, some of the carriers are still "behind the times" in regards to catching you or getting money from it but beware, it is coming. Of course there are always work arounds ....easy ones at that...to prevent getting charged for this. :)
2. Well with any cellular carrier you receive a one year warranty to "C.Y.A" past the initial RIM warranty of 30 days. So, it is nice to see RIM stepping up with something that will cover us, especially with users that are getting the WiFi only versions. However, I am curious to see how they will do with water damage. For example: ATT has a water mark on the battery and on the equipment that changes color when exposed to moisture. Great article!
3. BEST PILLOW FIGHT EVER!!!!
4. I like the new rules you have in place for this round of the contest. Good luck to all!
5. Is it possible that the Verizon lock has been lifted? Hmmm
6. I am really not sure I will get this from my current Torch as the jump is not worth it. Although, the possibility of QNX working on this device is a plus. :)
7. I am still uncomfortable about this. I mean it opens a HUGE door for number of apps but not really helping RIM stand on their own legs either
8. Agreed...good alternative ....not so agreed on the True blood. :) But to each their own .
9. I really do not understand the advertising road they are taking
10. Yeah very different. I still do not think this will be enough though
