    I do have quickpull installed too. Although not used the scheduled
    part.

    As for pre-paid. It is an option on 'most' networks now, for example T-Mobile is contract only. I'd check with your network provider & then seek the best deal to purchase.

    I bough a Nexus S less than a week ago. So far, I'm impressed, and because I don't dick about with my phone all day long I've found the battery life to be pretty respectable.

    The 5MP camera is much more than my old phone, but I wouldn't use a phone camera for much anyway, certainly nothing serious. I treated myself to a proper camera for that !

    Seriously good piece of kit. OS6 is far better than before, plenty of apps in BB AppWorld too. The combination of the touchscreen and keyboard is great.
    Only downsides ( if any ) looks a bit 'chunky', but you know its in your pocket !, which i prefer. The trackball can sometimes freeze after extended usage & like most berry's the odd battery pull is required to restart BBMessenger etc.

    I've had mine a month or so, & can't recommend it enough. As a non-iphone or touchscreen user Its right up there against the best.
    WHS, i've also had one a couple of months. i'm not a gadget freak but it does the job. we have also trialed a number of devices at work and in general.. the iphone brigade have calmed down a lot.
