Blackberry's Crippled by T-Mobile. In his article "T-Mobile Tells
BlackBerry Users: GetLess!" PowerPage editor Emory Lundberg reports
about how T-Mobile effectively crippled the Blackberry smartphone on
its network by disallowing outbound requests on TCP port 80. A real
sin considering that T-Mo Blackberry users pay US$40 per month for
"BlackBerry Unlimited w/Enterprise E-mail" that includes "Unlimited
Web Browsing."
