Why carry around a BT puck as a separate unit just because VZW locks out your device? It kind of defeats the whole purpose of an integrated unit.



Who is going to leave it on 24 hours a day? It is just as easy to toggle it on/off when you are at a wifi hotspot. With EVDO you don't have the option to turn it off and recover battery. And even if you could, CDMA is more power hungry. The BB 9000 is coming out soon, and we are getting 3G networking, which can be turned off. So when we don't need 3G we can still get EDGE data and good battery life. When it EVENTUALLY comes out for VZW you won't even have that option, because .... well, there is nothing to fall back to. I suppose there is 1xRT. But who wants that?

LOL .. Technically you can turn the EVDO off and go with 1X Howeve CDMA by nature does use more battery. Just nature of the beast.
