[Vertigo]

If i was you, I will take my Mom to X or Y carrier store and have her play with the phones. I did that with my wife and I don't regret it, after many months of waiting for the PRE she found out that she hate that phone, waaaay to small keyboard, way too uncomfortable to type, cheap build/feeling, battery life.

We went with 2 Blackberry's and we are really happy now, we're also are proud owners of 2 TP2 in paper weight mode Lol.. Anyway each person have different likes and dislikes, reason why I recommend you to take her to the store, that way she pick the phone she like and there is no one to complain because she picked the phone!!!

I know you might want to surprise her, but nothing beat spending some quality time with your mom on a phone shopping spree!


jbearamus: the only way a BB goes into paper wight mode is with no signal... Like with any other *REAL PUSH* email services they have their problems here and there. Since July 22 BIS systems has been down once, with windows mobile I use to have NuevaSync and they went through the same outages.
