I was NOT however, aware of the Cingular block. There's no way around that? It seems ludicrous that you pay for the phone, pay for the bandwidth, and are still hobbled by the carrier.

Go 2.0 does run on Motorola RAZR/KRZR phones, but applications for Moto phones need to be signed to run properly. This disadvantage does not apply for Blackberry phones. That's why the Yahoo! clients for Moto are usually older than other clients. Moreover Cingular blocks all downloads/installations over 500K, that is another reason why Yahoo! Go was blocked for Moto phones in the Cingular network. Yahoo! Go 2.0 does run on Motorola RAZR/KRZR phones, but applications for Moto phones need to be signed to run properly.
