With one of the hottest phones on the market (the Pearl), one would think that this forum would be a lot more lively. I've been toying around with the idea of getting a Pearl but candidly I'm having a problem getting excited enough to shell out a couple hunskys to pick one up based in part on the lack of excitment here about the product.
Anyone have any ideas on how to wake up the RIM/Blackberry forum here?

Motorola v80 - (swivel phone they never sold in the U.S) awesome everything i wanted... but i broke 3 of them
Samsung t809 - totally satisfied until i broke it and was forced into t629 which i think sucked
Now pearl!
I wanted all the options and web browsing in somthing that didn't look like poo.
Its gets better the more I use it theres so much in there.
I haven't found any tragic flaws yet.

I've got about 14 months left to serve with Cingular and will add the data plan within the next 60 days just to play with it (contract says 24 months, but I am free to add and delete packages at will). Then I will have my toy unlocked and attempt to find a company that treats their customers as an asset, not a meal ticket.

I've used T-Mobile now for a couple of years and, while not perfect, they are head and shoulders above Cingulbar. I'd recommend that you take a look at TMo when the timing is right for you.

iDen: Nextel
That's it. 5 1/2 choices (Sprint and Nextel being one company with 2 different networks).
IMHO, the FCC should have never allowed AT&T and Cingulbar to merge. The more mega mergers there are, the less choices there are for consumers. The FCC is suppose to protect the citizenry. HAHA, allowing mega mergers is good for big business. The benefits to the citizenry are far less apparent.
