Well, as you guys know. I have been lurking around Crackberry forums for a WHILE now. I have always wanted to buy a Blackberry but never had the time or money.
FINALLY, as of today . . I bought my Blackberry 8900 for $299.99 with $100 rebate. Right now, I LOVE IT. But I told myself, if I don't like it at all . . I will not be scared to take it back. So far so good.
Right now its a bit confusing, trying to get use to the OS and stuff, but its pretty amazing.
the blackberry OS is probably the single most user friendly, stable and capable of all of the PDA os's. You'll find, as you get more used to it, that you can't imagine owning another type of phone. I know I can't.
I will agree, when I got my first (of 3 so far!) Blackberry's I got the pearl when it first came out. I had a hard time for the first day or two, but then again I had to go find every corner of the OS and see what was there. After 2 days, I was a champ, didn't even nrealize I was working with a new OS on my phone and I haven't gone back to any other type of phone for 3 years now. That Blackberry is still working too! I gave it to a friend. That's after I dropped it in the snow and it stayed there for a week!
Once again, BIG THANKS to everyone. CB members are really nice haha.

Mhmm, thats GOOD to hear. The sidekick is super locked down. The OS was very simple though, which is a plus.

Oh my, thats CRAZY. I am super excited with this device. I don't even know where to start exploring. SO MUCH TO DO, so little time .
