« devices running these legacy services and software through either carrier or wi-fi connections will no longer reliably function, including for data, phone calls, SMS and 9-1-1 functionality » 911 not working without BlackBerry servers? SMS and calls too? Did they route all of that through their servers?

No, just the handset configuration. See thread from 3 days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29768382

That's correct. The only thing I've noticed so far on BB10 is the "Four Pips" signifying connection to BlackBerry infrastructure vanishing from the top icon bar. Calls, SMS and browser work for now.

The browser had a WAP 2.0 mode, so basically you're likely to be going through your telco's WAP GW/proxy.
