"7105 Reasons to get this phone......"
Pros: Purchase deal as an upgrade far lower than original pricing (upgrade), Very good reception and volume on Speakerphone, ease in synching/setup calendar, memos, contacts, e-mail & tasks, IM availability
Cons: Time on phone doesn't auto update when travel inter-time zone
Summary: OK may be not that many but I've got to say, this RIM Blackberry 7105T phone is a FAR and AWAY IMPROVEMENT over my previous T-Mobile Cellphone, a Siemens CF-62T. But then again, DCS (Dixie Cups and a String could also have beaten that phone too
.)
Pros:
-The Deal I got for purchasing this phone ($70 after all rebates), plus a free Bluetooth from http://www.blackberry.com when purchased prior to 11/30/2005 (those who didn't get their headset, I highly suggest you do this through this offer);
-The Reception on the speaker is exceptional and loud too compared to any previous phone I've had.
-The sync for calendar, tasks, contacts, notes and memos can be seemless and automatic if set to do so via the software included in box.
- Setting up a POP3 e-mail account is simple! And best of all, I am getting my e-mails quite seemlessly on my work a/c. So much so, that my colleague who had the Blackberry (different model but with VZW) was asking what I did and who I contacted to setup? The answers were I contacted none one except for T-Mobile PDA Support Desk and just simply setup a POP3 a/c on this basis.
- IM when I am at the airport in the event I need to reach out to someone.
-Phone size is perfoect and is made of different material compared to the ugly plastic 7290.
Cons:
-When travelling, with previous phones, the time always updated automatically according the the local time zone but here it doesn't seem to be doing so, atleast not yet. If anyone knows how to do this, then please post the steps out in the forum for T-Mobile.

I am not sure where the "t mobile forum" is so I thought I would post here.
You go to Tools
Setting
Date/Time
and then you will see:
"Date/Time Source":
You can change this option to "Network"
which then uses the TMobile Network.
I love my 7105 too!!! Well worth it!!!!!! -
So WHERE did you get this phone???? It sounds almost too good to be true!
