Q: Why do you require unlocked Smart Phones?

You need a proper network (Ethernet, WiFi, Bluetooth, etc.) connection to the LAN/Internet so that your PDA/Smart Phone can send/receive ICMP packets. The latest version of ActiveSync also allows LAN synchronisation.
Q: Why are the Internet results so low? I have a broadband connection!
