I think it would be easy to argue that just about any device even the dumb phones are going to have some or even a large amount of the features the TP2 has, which in a way is me saying I am in agreement an understand this but they don't have all of what the TP2 or a comparable device to it has, and by that I also mean that as such any thing that would, would then end up being one of the devices any carrier will be applying the data charges to.

So in a way, to suggest any of those or even a dumb phone in place of a TP2 is kinda like along the lines of what I keep trying to say and is mute as it is not a apples to apples comparison.

Also keep in mind people that I don't just make this argument for today but (and which btw this is hardly lost on the carrier companies) as we all know that as time goes on and especially if the carriers are making a killing for this data charge thing and people keep supporting it, that just about any device that will be coming out will be one that they can an will make have a mandatory data charge for and that the option to get the features we have been discussing or need in something that doesn’t require a data plan will become almost non existent so I don’t just argue this for the TP2 or even the way things are at this very moment but for when that day comes too.
