Minor Update
I started with the Blackberry Pearl at the end of May. DO I now have had it for about six months. Quite a tool. I thououghly enjoy it. (and it has even improved my typing which tells you how poorly I type.)
Few things have helped me as much as the BBPearl. And there are many many great third party apps out there. The Google Mobile Apps are really cool and have now added Contact sync which is a lifesaver.

My trip back to Indiana was mostly without incident. Nothing a little stupidity could mangle. ( more about that in a minute.)
Walked into the Syracuse airport around an hour and half ahead of my first Flight et agent moved me to an earlier flight because of delays in PHL. OK.
Went thru security got handchecked because of tools in my backpack. Again.
Got to gate and boarded (I'm thinking cool........I just picked up an hour.......LOL)
waited in plane on tarmac 1 hour. (back on schedule).
Hit PHL still slightly ahead of schedule. Took shuttle to proper concourse.
Looked for my flight ... Scheduled departure 8:55 delayed till 10:35. Flight ahead due to leave at 8:10 its 7. Walk to gate for earlier flight.
They already have 15 standbys. Oh well.
Get something to eat. Wait
Wait
Wait
Get on plane. Wait
Wait.
Hit the air arrive in Indy at ~12:45
GO to pick up my bag Did I mention that Indy has a brand new airport Terminal are easily 4 or 5 times as long. They also have brand new parking lots and maps only help so much.
Grab my bag eventually.
Get on shuttle. 10 minutes to car! Get off shuttle find my car quickly. Great.
It starts (another long story) on the third crank. Good.
Now how do I get out of here.
Maps always show you how to get there. Seldom show you how to leave.
Leave Parking lot find way to the highway.
Start my Hour long drive home not really bad even at 1:30AM. Fewer trucks.
Arrive home find a snow covered complex. Not bad. Open door to grab my two bags and head into the apartment.
There is only one bag in the back seat.
One bag.
one bag.
I start laughing. Where the devil did I leave that one? Go int the apartment and look up phone numbers for airport. Nothing open at 3AM. GO to sleep.
Ca w can say that the TSA says my stuff doesn't stink.
So i have to reschedule the Airport visit and this time I'll check out one of the other parking venues.
LOL.
