steve,
I really have myself set on a blackberry. I don't have it set up with my work account, so it will cost me an extra $30/month. However, I want the phone for the internet capability, as well as its ability to sync with outlook. The only place where I am organized in my entire life is in outlook. However, I can't put outlook in my pocket. Now that my budget can handle an extra $30/month, I can have that capability.
On a side note, what do I have to say/threaten when I go into the store on saturday to possibly get a free text message package? At $0.20/text or $10/month/phone, they're really raping their customers. Is this something that I just have to ask for, should I nudge that I may switch carriers, or should I not even bother to haggle? Keep in mind, i have verizon service, and one of my co-worker's husband is the store manager. We're not friends, but we're buddies, so that my be in my favor.
Back to the original thread topic though, my brother is currently waiting in line in Jametown for the 8:00am release tomorrow. If all goes well, he'll be e-mailing me with the phone by 9am. Unfortunately, he's not a TBDer, so he won't be posting a quick review here.
