So this is something that happens -- when the carrier bothers to set it up -- transparently to the user? i.e., the user tries to send a message via their specified SMTP server, which doesn't respond for whatever reason. It then silently fails over to whatever the carrier (should have) configured? That's bad and could be a major security issue, in my opinion, as it's pretty unlikely that the carriers will configure their server to use SSL.
I sincerely hope that Palm starts a trend with their release of an unlocked phone direct from the OEM rather than from a carrier. The carriers have been given far too much control over the devices they sell, and it ends up making life difficult for users who just want things to work as they should.
