Thanks. But I realize I was unclear in my question (not sufficiently caffeinated when I posted) - I am curious whether the phone will work as a tethered modem at full capability if it doesn't sport Tre software. (The UMTS rates and the Naviga option look interesting.) If it will connect, but only at GPRS, I'll just bring my Treo instead (and probably choose another carrier).
