And people should really stop complaining about SureType. I'm much, much faster on SureType than on a proper QWERTY, on account of the buttons being larger and easier to hit. Probably the best compromise would be a keyboard like the Nokia E71 but with iPhone's predictive autocorrection, but that chimera has yet to materialize.]]>Oct 13th 2008 1:17AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/10/13/t-mobile-launches-blackberry-pearl-8220-available-today-for-14/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/10/13/t-mobile-launches-blackberry-pearl-8220-available-today-for-14/

What else... I got it setup over my home WiFi connection last night and did some web browsing... it's very quick over WiFi, at least in what I saw. Much faster than over Edge, so I will be looking to add any WiFi networks that cover places I typically find myself. The web browser seems pretty capable, though I still want to play with Opera mobile or one of the other mobile browsers, at least for comparison sake. Opera hasn't got a targeted build out just yet - not as of yesterday, anyway - so you might need to wait a few days before you can get a really usable version.

Overall, my early impressions are really good. Definitely worth checking out if you're at all interested in a flip BB.]]>Oct 14th 2008 7:42PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/10/13/t-mobile-launches-blackberry-pearl-8220-available-today-for-14/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/10/13/t-mobile-launches-blackberry-pearl-8220-available-today-for-14/
Called T-Mo this weekend just to check our contract expiration dates.... ended up with $10 off our plan (but dropped to 600 min from 1000 very unused mins), 1/2 price unlimited family texting, free M-to-M, kept MyFaves and we get to upgrade all our phones (3) with the upgrade pricing.

My wife was the last to upgrade... which locked us in to sometime in 2010 anyway. Now we're set to expire 10/10/10. Should be easy enough to remember.
