BlackBerry Pearl available on T-Mobile's site

No surprises here. We knew when, we knew where, and we knew how much -- now, T-Mobile, $199 -- but in the event the BlackBerry Pearl has slipped your mind, consider your memory jogged.

If they make one of these with a QWERTY keyboard I might consider. Tried the suretype thing and didn't like it. Suretype is okay for short text entries though.

For some reason the t-809 is gone but I couldn't find any reason why.
Any guesses?

I picked mine up on the 13th! It's nice. Really small and shiny. The 2 instruction books are a bit thin with regard to some of the probably less used features (i.e. neither book instructs how to program the voice dialing) and there is no case included or available for purchase. But it's a Blackberry and very easily transfered over my 4 e-mail addresses.

I'm not bothered by the SureType. In fact, I prefer having the bigger keys over a QWERTY keyboard with the tiny keys. I guess it's a matter of preference.

The trackball is taking some getting used to as the scroll wheel became a very efficient way to get thru the menus quickly for me.

I checked on Tuesday and it was on the site then. Yesterday I trekked down to a T-mobile store and played with one. It's amazing how small it is. I was totally excepting something bigger, but this is the size of a normal, compact phone and is definitely stylish. I can't wait to get mine.

Hurry up Cingular! Release the Pearl!

As far as I know, this is a T-Mobile exclusive phone. I do not believe Cingular will be releasing this, though there are a few at full cost on eBay unlocked.
