- This makes no sense. I would think that USR owes Dual Standard

- just a couple months ago I had to pay extra for it. There is obviously
- no extra hardware cost involved to them when implementing HST.
- I see no reason for them disabling touch tone decode and cellular
- mode. Are they running out of room in the flash for new features so they
- just decided to dump these or what?
- Any other opinions on this? Are there other features that they
- silently disabled that others have noticed and I've missed?
