"They don't even run on the same servers as well as many other things which are done differently." I currently work for another PCS company, and it's really not as simple as you may think. For example, when using a Blackberry, what many sales personnel don't tell you is that you require a "Blackberry Package". These packages range anywhere from an extra $29.99-59.99 onto your REGULAR plan. So, if you're paying $69.99 for your regular plan, and paying $29.99 for the Blackberry package, simply because you own a Blackberry, you'd be paying over $100 a month for a PCS phone. The reason for this is because RIM, the manufacturer of the Blackberry, furnish servers to run their phones "on". They give you a free email address, and so on, but it's really not worth it. Is the Blackberry a good phone? Yes, it's definately top-of-the-line, but not worth the extra $29.99 in my opinion. So, technically, T-Mobile sold you on the CHEAPER phone, in both retail price and monthly service fees. You can get email working on the Dash, but it's as if you've already given up. You can address it with corporate in a formal letter, and I can assure you, they'll address it in a matter of days.
