Did you get yours as a corp user?
T-mobile just started offering these to the unwashed masses today. 349.95 w/ one year commitment. The stores won't have them for a while, but you can get them on the web site.
BTW to the poster above asking why they are called the blackberry: I was wondering this as well, when TravelKhatt who is not a technical person at all mentioned that she thought the name was really funny. When I asked why she explained that it looks kind of like a blackberry with the buttons representing the seeds of the fruit.
