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.
ahmelie: Are you implying that twinkies and lesbians are bad? BITCH!

Posted: 1/7/07 at 12:25amI 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

Posted: 1/7/07 at 12:42am...seeing how many features it has, I wouldn't be surprised if that was one of them.

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...

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!

Posted: 1/7/07 at 6:26pmOh, 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 =)

Posted: 1/7/07 at 6:28pmhaha, 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.
