What will be the easiest way to know when a firmware update comes out for the pearl? Will they send me an email or is there a mailing list to join? I'm tmobile if it makes a difference.

AFAIK, there's no notification. I've always relied on this board for that and checking BlackBerry Upgrade every now and then.

If you are with T-Mo, as I recall they have NEVER told me there were updates, I had to find out myself.
