I really hate what the mobile phone companies have done to cripple and
break
BT at every op****tunity. And, of course, it extends well beyond BT. For 
example, T-Mobile's firmware for the RAZR removed the ability to use a 24
hour clock.  I mean, they default firmware had it and they went to the
extra
effort to remove it.  And this is a GERMAN company.  WTF?
