Thanks for the good advice, Smeg! Those folks at Cingular/ATT don't seem to be very well informed...I've had some weird interactions with Cingular today. Yesterday I signed up for the $20 data plan for my blackjack. About half an hour later my wife's phone stops working. They deactivated her SIM card, and activated the new one that had come with her new 8125. I suspected that they had added data to her number and not mine, so I called them today. The first person I spoke to said that no data plan had been added to any line on our account, and then told me the "Blackjack is a PDA, you have to pay for the $40 plan." I told her that was not gonna happen, she transferred me to someone else. The next person I talked to seemed a bit more tech savvy, he told me that in fact yesterday they HAD added the $20 data plan to my phone line. Still, he tried to sell me the PDA plan, saying that although the blackjack is not a PPC, it is more advanced than other smartphones and is much better with the PDA plan. Still, he couldn't tell me the difference between the plans (other than the 20 dollar price difference). I believe his argument was blackjack is 'optimized' for the PDA plan, hahaha. Life is pretty good, my wife is now a gadget junkie too. Since she asked me for a blackberry 6 months ago and I 'accidentally' bought her a Mpx220, she's been reformed, hallelujah. Last week she got herself a refurb 8125 because she was jealous of my blackjack. so now we have a little family of gadgets to play with. Too bad we can't afford data plans for both lines.
