Do the other smart phones also send data regularly? If so, how much? I've been thinking of getting a 1st smart phone before too long.

If it is a bad design or some configuration issue that is easily made but not understood by the users, that is a problem. At the time of the news release no one, at least in or related to press had any idea what this data flow was for. I would suspect on going updates as Microsoft has always done, on PC, totally automated except that does not really work on a cell phone device where every byte transferred cost money. I suspect it is minor issue but the amount of bad press is major and just what Microsoft doesn't need... especially as iPhone is just getting more established and Android is cleaning up.

It should be relatively easy to track down. /gustav >>> accessd at shaw.ca 11-01-2011 06:09 >>> According to an email sent to me this evening, it appears that the windows cell phone operating system is causing and having some problems. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-12152517 This might be the final death knell to MS's aspirations of getting a firm foot hold in the growing cell phone market. The question is whether this is a system bug or a design feature...
