My question is related to using a second phone with a keyboard to do messaging on a CDMA Vogue Touch.

I am on an unlimited data plan but as soon as I teether another computer to the Touch I would most likely pay like 10 bucks for 2 MB of data, or lose my plan.

So is there any way to have a second phone like a HTC wizard or Hermes send and receive emails/surf the web and not have it mark the data sent/received as originating from another pc. I guess this would behave like a remote desktop program via Bluetooth.

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking, but there is a certain registry key which keeps your carrier from knowing you have "tethered" your device.

Ah. Now that would be a cool trick. I think the best solution for that is a mini bluetooth keyboard that is being developed right now..pretty sure I saw it posted on engadget just a couple days ago.
I haven't seen any mention of a way to transfer control of a hardware element in one device to the next via bluetooth or any other protocol. Would probably be some advanced driver hacking.
