And then they locked their network down, so once I swapped it out, I was never able to activate it again.
I actually like the TP2 keyboard much better than the Intrepid keyboard. Something about my fingers, I hate the mushy travel and hard tips of those keys. The TP2 is without a doubt the best keyboard I have ever used, even if it takes an extra step to get to it. But I can understand if you jot quick notes, it would be a pain after awhile.

Yeah, I have no complaints about the TP2 keyboard, apart from the fact I need to slide it out. I spent so much time on the Treo keyboard, that I sort of got used to having closer keys. I can work with either keyboard very well.

Yeah, I went and tried out the Blackberry Tour yesterday. It's a nice phone. Yet I have so much money invested in Windows Mobile software, I'm so used to its quirks. I might just break down and move over to BB, or settle for the Samsung Saga.
Palm Pixi is also intriguing, it's got a great form factor. But there's no WM version of it, and it's not international (deal killer for me as I often travel to Germany and Austria).
