My boyfreind and I also bought MDAs on Tuesdsay. I paid 349.00 with a 2 year contrat upgrade. grr! They said I would have to order the phone over the phone with customer care to get the one year.. and I guess I am not that patient. My boyfreind added a line onto our contract and he paid 399.00 with a 50.00 mail in rebate. We have been sidekick users for the past 3 years, and avid ones at that. We are text/IMaholics (as most deaf people, or hearing people with deaf boyfreinds are.. ahah).. and this is the first phone we have swithced over to. I am kinda pissed because I can't move my @tmail.com addy over to the MDA. I have tried setting up Gmail... can recieve emails, but not send. Customer support is stumped. grrr. All my sidekick info from my simcard did not transfer over either.
Other than that, it seems like a great device! The screen is crystal clear, and webpages look awesome. The keyboard is very easy to use! The camera and video are ok, its fun to send videos back and forth. the only problem is the video messages are like 2 seconds long.. I am not sure if that is standard? We were under the impression that we could send signed messages... apparently not. The internet is also pretty fast (more so than the sidekick).
I am still testing it out, but I am pretty sure it is a kepper, just as long as I get some of the bugs worked out.
