RE: [Treo] Re: Can only Treo 600s and 650s browse the web?

[Wallach, Levi]

I don't think that's necessarily True, Craig.  Yes, you CAN use a proxy
with Blazer, but you don't have to.  In fact with some carriers, it's
not set up that way and they may not even provide such a proxy server
for use.  Even if you consider that carriers may be proxying without the
user even having to manually set it up in the browser (eg, just
automatically proxying all data traffic from your device based on port
numbers), I don't think all carriers do this...
