I spent ten bucks on shipping a replacement because the "known issue" with the battery cover is the clasp on the unit itself. Don't ask me why I did, as the SIM is in my old RAZR and it happily in the possession of 順子's actively mobile grandmother, and I'll most likely not start another T-mobile contract, even with their tempting $9.95/month plan for unlimited e-mail. The new Pearl v1.0 came loaded with firmware that somehow left out the BBKorean font I used to display Asian characters on my original one, and the same amount for a monthly subscription for software (totalling close to an iPhone) is out of the question. It does feel so much better, in my hand and for my peace of mind knowing that it'll last past noon without a recharge, than this piece-of-shit Pocket PC, but looks like there's no keeping it from junk status. No reason why, however, it can't go in working order.
