OK, thanks for the info. I'll have friends confirm if that is possible.

I cannot speak for what happens on an NTT DoComo network, but whenever
my phone (on a T-Mobile US network) informs me of an available update,
I switch it to WiFi to download the update faster.

Eh? At the DoCoMo shop set up to handle the initial Android release
here is Japan I asked that very question.
Sorry, if that's true then it was my carrier misinformation and not a
flaw in Android. I apologize.
I was told no!

I see. OK.
I probably can't get a firmware upgrade from the carrier with the
*correct security certificate* to do it
Google apps are designed from the ground up to use a lot of network

I think this needs to be worked on and is not a good function.
