"virtually every wireless carrier you can think of is basically cheating you by charging you for received texts and not allowing you to turn the service off"
When I worked at AT&T (about 1 year ago) I turned of the text messaging service all the time for the elderly (mainly because they got a free message from AT&T and thought the devil was in the phone) and for parents of teens (mainly because their kid was grounded from texting). I mean it wasn't as easy as clicking one button and poof its turned off, but it also wasn't a big secret either.
Usually we spent our time trying to convince them that they NEED text messaging, but it was usually falling on dead ears.
“One wonderful Samsung addition to the traditional Android experience is a "real" camera button on the side, which can even register half-presses for focus.”
