I like it. I like it a lot. I agree with John though, they need to make 'em more pocket sized.
But EV-DO? Now that would be sweet for downloading attachments.
I hope it comes out for t-mobile they have the most affordable blackberry plans of all the cariers

But BlackBerry's do have pretty big screens, browsing the web with EVDO may be fun on that.
