I did a master reset reinstalled BB Connect. Everything works great now!!!

Email accounts shows up as named on the Tmobile server. No more long email addresses on the Today screen.

I can use GPRS as well as BB Connect. At first I needed to 'pause' BB Connect to use GPRS but now it just works without manually pausing BB Connect.

This phone is awesome!

Using latest firmware R9EC001
BB Connect ver. 3.45 from SE website
