Good questions! I never tried the 3G loophole and I don't know if the Pre can do it. Is there a web page on how to make it work? (Perhaps with a different device.) If so, I can try it. By the way, I find it interesting that some people seem to see this discussion as a kind of contest. It may be a contest for Apple and Palm, or for Sprint and AT&T, because every customer goes to only one of the two (a zero sum game), but for me to own a certain phone is not part of a contest against other phone owners. If someone has a phone with much better features than my phone has, that is good to know about, but I have not in any sense been "defeated"! ;-) Whenever I want a different phone, I'll go buy one. I want to know about other phones because I might want to buy another phone (and I definitely will need another phone *someday*), not because I want to establish my dominance in the world of phone ownership! ;-) Mike
