@Cecil – Good call. I’ll make sure to keep tabs on voice minutes and update checks. So far (16:35), I’ve used about an hour talk time, and I check for updates about once every 5 minutes during normal hours.

Hi Kyle, after this is done, can you give an estimate of how many voice minutes you used? Also, at what frequency were Gmail and UberTwitter checking for updates? Very impressive performance nonetheless!

I have been using BlackBerry devices for man years – BlackBerry Bold with AT&T for the last year. I bought a BlackBerry Bold 2 with T-Mobile on Monday. I must say this is the BEST BEST BEST BlackBerry device ever! Keyboard is amazing, I LOVE the touch pad, I have been using it since 7am including Wi-Fi, bluetooth, etc. still only one bar less! It feels great in hand, so compact, and so sexy! I am hooked with this one! Do you guys love it so far??? and finally a 3G BB from T-Mobile!!!

Love the picture much better then others! I do have to ask about the Mariah Carey on the screen though??? You listen to the music for the imagery right? It’s the only excuse I will accept.

@Stonished – You’re right, the test is a little much. I’m only going to be using GPS if I have to. I’m just sitting around here at the office letting it play off the stereo, with all the connections on. I’ll let data come in and get pulled, and if I have to leave the office I’ll take it with me. This will all be included in the updates. Who knows, maybe the battery will die before I even leave here.

@Marc – True, data roaming rates are intense. I actually don’t even need to be roaming right now but the device came with a T-Mobile SIM courtesy of T-Mobile. They would be upset if I didn’t use it.
