At first I wasn't sure that it was for me, or that I would like the qwerty keyboard integrated with the phone pad. After a bit of practicing I now can go pretty fast on the little keys. I also tried many times getting my email set up and web browsers working, applying all the patches but no go. I finally called the old att wireless-cingular-the new ATT support and found out the store sales girl did not add a blackberry plan to my phone, so no browser or email capability.
I had the rep add the functions and now I have full web access and email access. This phone rocks now! The map features rule and the web browsing is fast and easy to use. Big plus on the format of this phone, getting a blackberry that actually fits in my watch pocket is great. Better than carrying the blue berry brick around.
Setup on this phone was easy once I got the correct services added to the phone. I decided to not use our company Blackberry Enterprise services and used the Blackberry Internet Service. I went to the mycingular blackberry website and signed up for an account and added my email accounts. These almost immediately showed up on my Pearl's desktop. One of the cool things is email addresses like gmail.com and netaddress.com are supported by Blackberry so I all I had to do was enter my account info, they configured the server info for me!
One difficult thing was to get the patches and upgrade the phone. This should be done first, and unfortunately the website link I got at the store, was incorrect. I had to hunt down the links on the cingular site, which were not easy to find either. You should find the Blackberry support page that has the latest Desktop software and the patch. Install both and upgrade the phone.
