Very nice phone
Although I didn't end up keeping this Pearl, my complaints were with T-mobile and not the 8120. It was tough to gauge the reception of the phone because, in my area at least, T-mobile was mediocre. However, as a smartphone, it was very nice; my only complaints were regarding the WiFi and the keyboard. First, I didn't sign up for UMA and hoped to use WiFi just for data when around home or a hotspot; it didn't work very well and I ended up using the EDGE connection all of the time. The SureType keyboard was pretty decent for what it was; it was certainly better than T9. It simply isn't a full keyboard and though it tries to act like one through a T9-like dictionary, I ended up choosing a Curve the next time.
