post the link to the free download threads so that i might have it for a later date

my favorite thread on crackberry (besides the free program downloads) was "Do you blackberry while sitting on the John?" I believe the poll showed 98% yes with most common response "who needs a newspaper or magazine when you have phone, IM, email, and internet" lol

if anyone else was thinking about this, Amazon.com is giving away free Pearls for new T-mobile service...It says it ends today but i doubt it ever ends.

yeah, some people seem to prefer the side scroll tool but i think we'll be more happy w/ the mouse like trackball...

I think my problem with the trackball is it give no feedback.

at first i was weary towards the trackball. now i like it even better than the side scroll.

So i realized that a buddy of ours has one of these last night and he's also w/ T-mobile so i questioned him about it. He said the service was pretty much like anyone else in the are and i took the phone for a drive. I think we're pretty much sold on it now. The size is perfect, as is the weight and I used it to log into the forums and it was actually a pretty decent speed. He also said the email was awesome too. Sweet

yep. the rebate is from tmobile, the phone is from amazon. tmobile will still give you your rebate regardless of what amazon decides to charge. it's pretty common on amazon browse around at some of their other phones

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

ha! thats awesome...so even after the activation you still make $30 on the deal...

I have used cingular (now at&t) for 5 yrs so I got it for free!!

This is mostly for my future reference but also for anyone here w/ a pearl. This is a free program to download that allows you to change the color of the LED that lights up the "pearl" and can be set to random or any color you create. Its called ColorPearl. Neat Stuff.
