Thanks. That's going to have to wait a while then. Way too big to fit
down the 2G pipeline I'm currently using to connect to the Internet.

Now if the local telecomm provider (read: government enforced

I'm curious here. Where are you hailing from? Which country imposes such

FWIW Verizon is *planning* on shutting down 2G/CDMA service in December*!

2G has evolved over time a from whopping 9.6 to 236.8 kbps on the
download side! Can you run wget on your phone?
