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.

Pearl

I'm also using the Blackberry 8100 (Pearl). The battery life is excellent. The signal pickup is a vast improvement over any Moto or Sony/Ericsson phone I've had.
It works nicely with the Mac. It'll sync with iCal/AddressBook/Mail. Blackberry bundles PocketMac for sync, but I prefer to use Missing Sync.
The ONLY thing I miss from my Razr is Bluetooth syncing. You have to hook-up via USB with the Pearl.
If you dislike tiny keys, the Pearl might not be for you. I like the SureType tech. It trains well and gets smarter the more you use it.
I paid more for the phone so I would only have a 1 year contract. that's worked best for me, as I'm tough on phones and like flashy new toys too.
