Blackberry pearl

[holdemvol]

Does anyone have any experience with the pearl 8130? I have decided it is time to buy a smartphone and I think this is the way to go for me. The only drawback I can find is the lack of a full qwerty keypad but since I have never had one to begin with I guess I can't really miss it.

Damn.......Bruce has a phone named after him now?

I tried out a friend's before I bought and didn't like it. Guess I've gotten used to the full keypad. Ended up getting the 8830 instead and love it

I planned on getting the 8830 and then it hit me.......I never thought I would say it but I don't think I can get by without the camera. As ridiculous as it sounds I have 2 small children and have caught so many great moments on camera only because I had one readily available in my pocket.

The Curve is much better.

a camera was definitely something I considered but I really didn't use it that often on my previous phone. I really like the trackball though (on either phone). Great when browsing the web or when playing Golden Tee

I agree, but as the husband of a Verizon employee switching carriers is not an option.

My God, I never even considered Golden Tee. SOLD!

I'm about ready to ditch my treo 650 and get a Treo 755. The 755 smokes my 650 and laptop aircard while on the net.

Why not just use your Treo for to gain internet access on your laptop?

That's too bad.

Nah, I love verizon's service and since my wife works for them it is dirt cheap. What I hate about Verizon is that it seems like they get new devices a year after AT&T. I get a new phone every year, so this time next year I will move to whatever version of the curve VZW has (or an 8830 with a camera).

I'd like to switch to Verizon from Sprint, but I have a crapload of time left on my contract... 18 months I believe... Sprint service sucks big monkey whatnots.
