I'm changing phone services and have decided on T-mobile, however, I can't decide on the phone. I have narrowed it down to the T-mobile Dash and the Blackberry Pearl(not the 8120 yet to be released). I am use to a full keyboard so these were my best choices. I know that both allow you to check your e-mails but do i have to pay monthly for this, even if I'm at a T-mobile hotspot(This is not the most important thing to me, but I would use it a ton if i didn't have to pay extra) I assume both keyboards can be locked, am I correct? Which is easier to text with? Which is better/ more comfortable to talk on? Which is easier to use(overall, and the QWERTY keyboard)? Which has better performance? What messaging services can i use from each, AIM, Yahoo, MSN, etc.? What about any additional functions? Any other comments, I want to hear them!!!
