Not to mention this comment doesn't help the OP at all.

Back to the situation at hand...
Splitter, I have had this phone since it was released this summer on Sprint. I owned 3 WM phones before that. Never, and I repeat NEVER have I heard of a phone "Calling Home". WTF does that mean?! Who's it calling, and why is it using data? That doesn't make ANY sense at all. None.
You were lied to.
You are right, I was lied to. Called them today, and after about 20 minutes of mindless banter, they dumped the $2k data charges. I've had almost 4 years worth of ppc phones, 6600, 6700 and now the 6800. I questioned the rep who told me that, she was adamant though... but the rep I spoke with today knew what she was talking about.

Thanks for posting.

Shalom vBrachos!
