Arbitrary limits?

The linked article seem to indicate some arbitrary limits on certain features, e.g. "IM, SMS and MMS" only available within areas with wireless coverage.

Which, especially regarding SMS, seems to be quite stupid.

However, it brings up the question on whether it will be capable of being used as a data modem, a.k.a. tethering.
