Believe it or not, the problem was not related to the use of a mobile device. I wanted to change the post’s title later on, and WordPress does not like it very much, at least with the version currently provided by Yahoo! Sorry for the multiple feeds.

By the way, BlackBerry and other mobile data services were derived from Ericssion’s Mobitex spec, which Ericsson released as open standard few years back. In the late 80’s, there was only one mobile data modem over the cellular telephone network, by Ericsson, which transferred data in duplex mode at 300 bps over an analog cellular network. Couple of attempts to transmit data successfully is at least an order of magnitude in improvement as compared to the frequent dropped-calls over an analog cellular network!
