I get about 100 e-mails a day and respond to about 5, if that.

But last week I was in the part of a house I was visiting to where I did not want to go into another room to use the DSL line. So I hooked up the Pearl As A Modem so to do some Internet research.

I stayed connected for about 6 hours without concern about the charges because I have the U.S. T-Mo 19.99 unlimited data plan.

And about a month ago my cable broadband coverage went out for about two hours. I was able to hook up my Pearl to the desktop and use it as a modem. That was uber cool in my book, especially when getting the bill and NOT seeing charges for staying on line with the Pearl.

I am already lamenting the loss of that plan when T-Mo pulls it [I suspect some day T-Mo will join the other carriers and discontinue the $20 unlimited data plan].
