I only need this device for personal organizer and simple phone function. Is there anyway to block weather automatic update feature? or even block all data usage of this phone at all? Please let me know. If i get charged for data plan, i'd rather get samsung omnia or some other phone. Thank you in advance.
Yeah there is, as I am using the exact setup that you are looking for pretty much. Basically I have a data block placed on my cell number and also set it up with a pay per KB plan. Now that alone will solve your problem. But if you just want to turn off the weather function, just dont ever set it up with a location and it will never retrieve any data.
