It happened quietly, but apparently, T-Mobile is now officially the first U.S. carrier to offer the . The curvier cousin of the Razr, the Pebl is smooth with rounded corners and, when opened, reveals that familiar Razr-like etched keypad. The Pebl's features include Bluetooth, 5MB of internal memory, a VGA camera with 4X digital zoom, a video recorder, an MP3 player, text and multimedia messaging, support for e-mail and IM, and quad-band connectivity. From preliminary handling at CTIA earlier this year, we really liked its smooth metal finish, like a round "river rock" in our hands. We look forward to having a full review of this soon. If you want to get your hands on it now, you could go over to T-Mobile's exclusive "Web-only preview" and buy it for $299.99 with a year's contract.
