    Hasan if your plan is expiring there is a plan for Sprint called SERO. Its not really available to the public but for $30/month you get 500 whenever minutes, Unlimited Text Messages, Unlimited Internet, Unlimited Nights and Weekends (7pm) Unlimited mobile to mobile, and some other ****. A Blackberry would be a lot cheaper also. Call me if you want the information and stuff, its a Sprint referral plan so I can hook you up...

    Id get a TC dash over the pearl.

    Check out the I-Mate, its an Iphone imitation made by a korean company, it has duel sim capability, and all the features of the iphone on tmobile and is pretty darn cheap.

    I think phones are a waste of money. In a 1-2 years the phone gonna start ****ing up on you and your just gonna get a new phone. I always go for the free ones. If it comes w/ extra goodies, yippe ****ing do da de.

    the BB Pearl was made to target the younger mainstream people. Is a piece of ****.

    Plus is to damn Cute! **** that ! ask paul, he has a pinkish one hahahahhahahaha

    The pearl has a bunch of features that most regular people are not going to use.

    Like I said, targeted for the EMO chics.
    Unless you have a job, business that requires the use of a PDA phone.. dont waste your money.

    anyways, BJ > pearl anyday!

    Really depends on what you want to do with the phone. Blackberrys are great for receiving emails since you do not have to manual pull them. Unfortunately you have Tmobile so you won't have the use of a 3G phone. That would be one step up if you are looking into the internet feature. Edge/GPRS is roughly 200 Kbps...where as 3G is 700 kbps.... I use both a blackjack and a blackberry, emails-> blackberry>blackjack...internet and other internet related features-> blackberry<blackjack....


    Hope that helps...

The internet is super fast when you are running on wifi...other than that you're getting a little faster than dial up speeds... and coming from someone who sells them... I would wait to see if the service gets bumped up to 3G before spending $426.23 (give or take) on a phone that does not even do picture messages...only text...and it does not send a stereo bluetooth signal...so if you want stereo sound you have to stay tied to it with the headphones it comes with.
