The Blackberry Pearl

Anyone have one? I just ordered mine and can't wait to get it! My boyfriend has one, and he is obsessed with it. I'm leaving my Sidekick (which I've had for 3 years...the first one and the Sidekick 2), so I'm curious to see how different it will be. I know the Blackberry offers many more features and is a much smaller phone...

For those of you who have them, how do you feel about them?

I like it. The rollerball is nice. Reminds me of my first laptop =)

Overall, easy-to-navigate menus with nice but not over-the-top graphics, and I much prefer this keypad to the older Blackberry.

My uncle has it and is utterly obsessed with it. To the point of ridiculousness.

I tried my boyfriend's out tonight--he let me type on it...just trying it out. It took me a good 2 minutes to type out "omg I know". It's going to take me a very long time to get used to the keyboard...lol

It actually sounds like a sex toy . . .

...seeing how many features it has, I wouldn't be surprised if that was one of them.

For some people, the Blackberry IS their sex life.

Well, I am sure it does have a vibrate function.

Why not a Treo? I love my Treo.

YWIW, I was thinking the exact thing! I never would have said it on the thread, though, until I saw that you said it too.

Well, it is nice to know that great minds think alike!

I agree the name wasn't well thought out.

I mean--sex toy, pirate ship, or possibly tampon brand...

Aspen, it's better - it's all three in one!

Hehehe...

Well if the pirate ship comes equipped with Johnny Depp, I won't need the sex toy function...

SO! BACK TO THE TOPIC BEFORE WE GET THIS THREAD DELETED!

I...bought a 1 GB Transflash-thingy card for my phone today...whenever it decides to come in. 30 dollars. Wahoo! Screw Circuit City with their 54 dollar 1 GB cards! HA.

I'll be able to take almost 2,000 pictures on my phone with this memory card!...or watch lots of videos...or listen to lots of mp3s. Yay!

Oh, that's another thing about the Pearl. Very nice camera. But a warning--it gets addictive. I spend entirely too much time looking at the world through my Blackberry screen =)

haha, I'm very excited about it. The camera on my Sidekick 2 is HORRIBLE. The camera on the Sidekick 3 is higher quality, but still takes horrible pictures. The flash makes everything way too bright. I'm glad I won't have to carry my digital camera around with me all the time anymore! The flash on the Blackberry works very well for a camera phone.
