New T-Mobile phone

[fuzzyjay]

Is anybody on T-Mobile and happy with their phone?

My SDA has died after a year and after I left it out in the rain. I need to get a new phone tomorrow and I'm researching what to get.

I do some texting so a decent text entry system would be nice. The SDA has a good system but a terrible keyboard. I don't care about a camera, or MP3 players, or ringtones.

I like my phone. It's a blackberry pearl 8100. It has a little trackball in the center (the 'pearl', I guess.) and a 5 x 3 key number pad with a qwerty layout, roughly 2 letters associated with each key. The combination of those two features makes it surprisingly easy for me to text on, but your mileage may vary.

I also get copies of my work email sent to it. It's nice.
