Blackberry Pearl Users?

[darthbudge]

Hey everybody, I just on cingular's website that they have a refurb Blackberry Pearl for 50 dollars. But I had a few questions so I thought I would throw them around here.

Does anybody have one? If so what do you like about it and what don't you like.

Second, currently I am on my parents plan so my phone bill is only 10 bucks a month, which they pay for. Because of this they won't pay for the blackberry plan, so my question is, is the BB plan inclusive of all phones on our cingular plan or do you have to pay the 30 dollars per BB? The reason I ask it is because my dad already has a BB and pays for the plan.

The third question I have is, does anybody know how reliable refurb phones from cingular are? Also like if I got it and then it breaks a few month later and it wasn't my fault would they replace it?

Thanks ahead of time for answering my questions.

EDIT: Also has anyone bought a phone from letstalk.com before? They have a new BB pearl for free with renewing your contract. Some people on Howard forums said it was good and others said they were bad. Anyone have input?

Blackberry Connect plans are per line.

Refurb phones still carry a one-year warranty, AFAIK.

Any reason to have the BB plan for you?

Well the main reason was for getting the internet on my phone. Without the BB plan could I get any internet at all?

EDIT: Btw, I see you on HoFo.

blackberry plans are per line and added automatically when you order online. you may remove plan from account but dont expect your picture messaging, internet and downloads to work properly. yes the referb phones carry warranty and usually elligblwe for insurance. in the case of the pearl insuracne is not offered. referb as like new b/c they take out any non working parts and replace with new straight from factory parts..
PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM ANY ONLINE RETAILER EXCPET CINGULAR.COM
VERY IMP TO KNOW THAT LETSTALK.COM IS HROOIBLE FOR CUST SERVICE AND I HAVE EXPERINCED COUNTLESS PROBLEMS WITH THEM

Pearls are money. The keyboard is QWERTY though, and the buttons are soft and feel pretty weird.
Aside from that, I love mine.
