@digiprod: That's only because the laggy keyboard made you hit the "1" key twice.

OMG! Ponies!

I find Chris Hansen sitting in my kitchen so often I ought to charge him rent.

But the iPhone goes to 11.

@GeekyNerdGuy: I hope you are a woman. Because otherwise, you have a disturbing collection of knick-knacks on your curio shelf.

My friend Chris Hansen would like to talk to you.

Have a seat...

OMG! Ponies!

@OMG! Ponies!: I actually was wanting one in pink with a dragon tattoo to match my pink vagina that has a dragon tattoo right next to it!

While you can't deny T-Mobile's love for BlackBerry, you can deny T-Mobile's love of being competitive. Thunder/Storm is on Verizon and the Bold is on AT&T.

Of course, if you want a BlackBerry Pearl in hot pink or with a "dragon tattoo", then yes, T-Mobile is your place to go.

OMG! Ponies!

Kinda nice...wonder how great it is...too bad it's T-Mobile

@OMG! Ponies!: Frequently labeled as the best customer service. Gained 600,000 new customers last quarter. I'd say they like being competitive. You must be the guy that Sprint is after. Service secondary. Gadgetry first. That's okay by me but I prefer quality service and it seems you really can't get both from a carrier in the U.S..

I love Tmo and have got nothing except excellent service from them, but they really dont do much to lock up the good phones.

I personally think service providers shouldnt be able to lock phones to them specifically, they are there to provide SERVICE, not gadgets. Basically all I want Tmobile to do is give me great coverage and a reasonable rate, and let me buy the devices from someone else!

Its like if Comcast was the exclusive provider of HDTV's... not cool

I don't know what tmobile or att you're on, but the att I know and abhore is the one that likes to try and sneak misc. mischarges on every bill and wallow in ignorance when asked about why my dsl is down. or when they're actually going to come install it.

vice versa, i've been on tmo for 4 years and even edge has been decent. coverage is usually pretty good as well, just lacking in areas like basements and west texas. although, phones do make a huge difference. my samsung d900 got no signal while my bb curve gets signal everywhere; better than att on campus actually.

@Thrillcekr: Still in 4th place. Sprint is in 3rd Place. [www.nytimes.com] They might like to be competitive, but they're still pulling up the rear.

As far as call quality goes, it's a mixed bag. Often, my old PEBL had better reception than my BlackBerry. However, the crap EDGE service was too painful to be usable. I don't know if that's T-Mobile or just EDGE. I haven't had Sprint in about a decade, nor have I had Verizon in six years.

T-Mobile's customer service was nothing special. AT&T's is about the same as well. Customer service doesn't get people jazzed.

OMG! Ponies!

i can say right now that service is more important plus i am willing to wait with tmobile seeing as they are actually like one of the only carriers to offer unlimited data and they are going to do so to when 3g comes out. no 5 gb capping pure unlimited and when it does i will get rid of my crappy dsl and just use my phone as a modem. see the thing about tmo 3g is that there using 1700 for down and 2100 for up so its going to be better then att if it ever comes out. or unless att changes theres.

Ok! First Of All I Have To Say What The Hell! This Article Is INCORRECT! I Don't Argue Unless I Know The Details Which I've Known For Sometime!

First Of All 8120 Is The 2nd Generation Pearl! It Has Video Capabilities! I Know They Will Have More Colors So This Is Right!

Second Of All 8220 Is Named The Kickflip! Which Has The Latest OS! That Phone Is Pictured!

Third Of All The Javelin 9020 I Think! Is The Same As The Bold! Just Another Name & Its Red & It Doesn't Have The Latest OS As The Kickflip Will!

I Can't Wait Till The Javelin Comes Out!

bummer about the blackberry bold though, i talked to a tmo rep and they said that it was coming this fall, but i guess they lied, just like they said the androif phone was coming out before xmas, now that's even getting pushed back... I want a 3G Smartphone dammit!

Bkzbeatboxxx

Javelin Is The Name For The Bold Exclusively For T-Mobile!

ViperMatrixXM

I PRAY that this is BS, and T-Mo is getting the Bold. Is anyone else getting nervous that T-Mo's 3G phone selection has already caught the suck? Get with it, T-Mo, for christ's sake. We waited forever for 3G, and we get ... the blackberry flip phone? Snore.
