T-Mobile don't have a 14 day cool off period anymore. They dropped this
about 18 months ago.

Strangely it (Line 2 support) is present in the phone-type devices, but
not the Pocket-PC devices.

Online is different, you've got the DSR coming into play.

Doubtful, unless you do it first. If you port out Line 1, the line 2
cannot exist.
