My contract with Tmo on 7105t is almost up. I had been considering getting the Pearl. Nice features on the Pearl. And I am use to Suretype, so no problem there. The only thing wrong for me is the camera on the Pearl. My company doesn't allow cameras, so my Pearl would be left in the car while I'm at work. That's why I am now considering the 8800 Indigo sans camera. I will wait and see. If the price is right and the features are as good as I have heard, I will get the 8800. If not, I will go with the Pearl.
