Blackberry indeed has said an AWS version for T-Mobile will follow the AT&T version "very quickly". End of summer perhaps, or early fall. And me in the NYC area! Whoever gets an AWS smartphone out first gets my $$.
When I had my e71 as well as with my current 66 if you set an alarm and leave phone off it sounds at the appointed time and gives you a pop up option to turn the phone on or not. Don't know of an auto function for it.
These days with everybody doing away with landlines and going wireless I like to leave my phone on at all times. I just set a sleep profile disabling email and texts and such to allow only incoming calls for emergencies. I wouldn't ever want to leave it off completely. But thats just me.No land line.
I missed out on my last post Voice messages as well, and i really like the notification symbol in the bottom right of the screen as it just makes it so visible much better than on previous devices IMO.
