It takes 10 seconds for the phone to recognize that a headset is plugged it, which sucks when you're in the middle of a call. Sometimes it doesn't work at all. <br /> <br />What a P.O.S! <br /> <br />The only pro about this phone is that the calendar and contacts sync with my Mac OS. <br /> <br />To add insult to injury, T Mobile customer service sucks 8@!!5. They only get good reviews because they sound cheerful on the phone and act like they care. God forbid you experience a real problem--half of them don't know their a55 from their elbow. Tech support takes hours. Literlly! And tech support rarely helps (because of the a55/elbow thing). <br /> <br />I thought I hated Cingular/AT&T customer service until I switched to T Mobile. At least at Cingular they don't put on a compassionate facade then dispense crappy service, they just cut straight to the crappy service.

Within the first few months:

-the trackball was working inconsistently

-the red call-end/power button functioned only half the time

-the headphone jack stopped working consistently. It takes 10 seconds for the phone to recognize that a headset is plugged it, which sucks when you’re in the middle of a call. Sometimes it doesn’t work at all.

What a P.O.S!

The only pro about this phone is that the calendar and contacts sync with my Mac OS.

To add insult to injury, T Mobile customer service sucks 8@!!5. They only get good reviews because they sound cheerful on the phone and act like they care. God forbid you experience a real problem–half of them don’t know their a55 from their elbow. Tech support takes hours. Literlly! And tech support rarely helps (because of the a55/elbow thing).

I love the utility that the track ball brings and aids in the prevention of accidental calls when placed in your pocket, which is what you should be able to do with a compact cellular handset. I would love the Perl more if BlackBerry did not require the corporate data package in order for me to have unlimited MMS and SMS text messaging, which significantly increases the cost of ownership for an otherwise, simple and elegant handset that has the ideal dimensional profile for a consumer communication device. <br /> <br />Thats my gripe. The purpose of my review is to inform color conscience consumers, fasion orientated or not, that "Indigo" is a shade of violet and is not "Blue". The term Indigo is actually one of the more Cyan (pure blue) of the shades of violet and what T-Mobile labled as indigo, is actually more acurately described as "Purple" or "Aubergine"(eggplant). <br /> <br />I thought I was buying a blue phone and got a purple phone. But with the Blackberry blue silicone case, you can buy one cheap through amazon, you can own yourself a nice "BlueBerry" And its the most visually pleasing phone I've ever owned. <br /> <br />Clinton Born II Rating: 4 / 5 I have been a fan of the PERL concept for a long time.
