That's more than understandable, but what confuses me, is that there's not an option available (market?) for people who are interested in it, to download and try it for themselves.. currently it's mentioned on numerous locations (the donut trailer for one), described as one of the features of the phone... yet a large part of the consumers won't be able to use that feature.
Now don't get me wrong, I know that the common user won't ever use or need it, but it's a bit annoying as a customer who prefers to use it, won't have it, and is forced to resort to 'dodgy' methods to enable it.. while the most simple sollution would be to not install it by default, yet leave it in the market for those who do want it, so they can install it (with or without an added warning about it?)...
