They look nice on the advertisement. However, I would just go with a blackberry bold. I got a Nokia e71, the bold's equivalent and love it.
Its not as business oriented, but that's fine... I just need a phone, and like to surf and text.
No offense slat, I've heard nothing but peeps who were not satisfied with the pearl. However, they didn't like the keyboard set up.
Unsure about the other stuff.
Go with the blackberry bold. My Uncle just got one. I got to play with it for 2 days.
It's a great phone. I love my Nokia so much more. However, while it kicked ass in Europe, it did not sell worth anything here, cause of Blackberry.
Go with the Bold. I used to hate phones, and now I find myself caught up in all this shit..LOL. Oh well.
