With memory leaks, increased contact lists and calendars over time, couldn't they bump the flash to at least 256MB or higher? It's so cheap! I guess it's just another way of getting me to buy the next device in 1-2 years when I run that memory through the roof. My current Pearl is practically maxed out. Anyway, I'm looking for a personal phone and playing around with a few. I may give this one a look. My Pearl/Storm will have all the bells and whistles I need on a daily basis, but this phone may be decent enough on a personal level. It's just that damn TMO coverage that concerns me...

This device though has zero appeal to me. I love my Blackberry Curve (and the Blackberry devices that I have had before the Curve). This device though has zero appeal to me.

I agree that you will see the price drop eventually but I think that it might be a couple of months before it does and I don't think that it will be a huge seller this year.

With it coming out on T-Mobile I think it is safe to assume that RIM is going afterthe consumer market. No matter how you look at it, this particular BlackBerry will be seen as inferior to iPhone by the average Joe. Rim should have set the price between $49.95 and $79.95.
