Rating  - Beware
Don't choose T-Mobile. I live in Sacramento Ca. I had no coverage in my home. I could never even finish the Blackberry set-up. I also traveled in Minnesota, When I got off the plane at Minneapolis International airport (a major airline hub)I had no coverage there either. I had to use a land line! I used a total of 16 mins. I cancelled within the trial period and was still charged $51.00. Save your money and go with one of the major carriers. I will wait for the i phone.
Rating  - The love keeps flowing
After using it for many months now, I absolutely love this device. Not only does it function beautifully, it is itself beautiful. After downloading a fiery fractal background image from google (hint: you can zoom the image in once before making it your home screen background to avoid the "white line" effect) I find myself picking the Pearl up and playing with it simply because it makes me feel good. Blush.
The internet email works very well with my MSN hotmail account, the calendar, address book, tasks and memos sync smoothly with Outlook using the USB cable, and the thing holds a charge forever. If you use the camera, check out its menu, because you have several different resolutions to choose from, as well as flash settings. I added a 2GB microSD card for photos, and it went smoothly. The only drawbacks are that GPRS and EDGE provide relatively slow download speeds compared to CDMA networks, and the Pearl does not have a stereo headphone jack.
Finally, I initially did not like the Smart Type keyboard, and was chomping to get a qwerty model, but now that I've used it a bit I realize it has learned from my typing, and somehow produces the right word almost all of the time, and I like the slim form factor so much I'm keeping this device.
I have the T-Mobile MyFaves plan and love it. It works. I have no long distance charges to my family and friends, all on different carriers.
T-Mo will indeed unlock your SIM card after you've been with them for three months, free of charge, so you can go to Europe, for example, and use a local provider's SIM card for those extended trips. Also, T-Mobile has operating agreements for roaming all around Europe, Canada and Mexico, again with no sign up fee. No nickel-and-diming you like Cingular does.
I cannot say enough good things about both T-Mobile and RIM customer support. (I'm a geek and reloaded the operating system for fun. What can I say. Cough.) They are fantastic. Yo, Qwest, AT&T, are you listening? Take lessons from T-Mobile. Where else does a customer support rep say "What other issues are you having? Let's stay on the phone and get them all resolved." Yes, I'm a happy customer.
Rating - Excellent Choice!
I love this Smart Phone! It has so many capabilities that its amazing! I am able to keep all of my web, email, stock, and both business and personal financial accounts up to date with ease at my fingertips. Keeping up with my email is crucial for me and the BlackBerry 8100 meets these requirements with ease. It has been the most productive and time saving Smart Phone I have ever used! If you need something to keep you organized and up to date with all your needs, then I would recommend this phone! Thanks BlackBerry for such an innovative phone!
Rating - Great Phone
I have been looking to getting a smart phone for a while,and I'm glad I got this one. It has everything you need to stay connected, email, mms, internet, etc. Convenient voice dialing button on the side of the phone, press it and say the person's name and it recognizes your voice. I've had several voice calling enabled phones, none as good as this.Trackball is a good feature, makes it easy to navigate. keypad is a little small, but with practice it's no big deal. Smart phones tend to be big, but this compact size is what overall sold me on it (plus all the features it has). Overall a good phone that has a lot of features that you can slip in your front pants pocket with no problem. Not clunky, lightwieght and sold feel to it.
