>> 4. I don't think the browser on WP7 is based on IE7 just for numbers to match. And this give me little hope there will be quick improvement in that area. It is based on code from deskotop IE6 and 7: http://news.cnet.com/8301-138

SOAP has 50x the features of REST. Even most REST advocates will accept that there are scenarios, where it's better to use SOAP. If you need complex security, reliability, addressing, etc. why not let Microsoft/IBM/Oracle do the dirty work?

IMHO the real reason is CPUs and manufacturing technologies have become extremely complex. So although there are known, simple ways to address the heat dissipation it takes a lot of time to implement them.

How? With a little bit of effort. Spend 5 min. reading online reviews of the service before singing. Check the roaming rates before going to Canada, it takes 1 min. to find and read http://b2b.vzw.com/international/naroaming.htm
