| does anyone have this phone?? what do you think???? I am looking into getting this phone: Blackberry Pearl in Pink I currently have an iPhone and LOVE it..but HATE AT&T with a passion. I have a great phone but have a hard time making and receiving phone calls because the service here is terrible!!!!!!!!! I had verizon in the past and LOVED them, so I am going back. I have been spoiled by my iphone with all that it can do, so I want something that will still allow me to do a lot of those things. I know there are a TON of differences and I will not be able to do ALL of the things I can on my iPhone, but I think this sounds like it will hold me over Does anyone have this phone...and what do you think about it?????

| I have the pink pearl, and I like it. If they had the pink curve out when I got mine, I probably would have got that since it has the full QWERTY keyboard. My only problem with the pearl is the keyboard, but other than that its great! However, if you like the iphone so much, you should probably get the new blackberry storm as it has a touch screen. Hope that helped! |

| Have you updated your iPhone? My husband ran some updates on mine and it works MUCH better now. AT&T is good here though. I know it's spotty in other places and that makes a difference.

| I have the Pearl in Titanium (Silver). I love it. It probably doesn't have the same ease of use that you're used to with a touchscreen, but it gets the job done. I check YT, Facebook, MySpace and get my email. I've also downloaded Google Maps for directions. If you do decide to get it, Crackberry.com is a great site for advice.

| My work phone is a blackberry 8830 through US Cellular. I love it as a phone and it is a necessary tool for my emails. My personal cell is through Verizon. I think we are fortunate here in the Heartland with cell service.

| NOOOOOOOOOOOO... don't ditch your iPhone! Haha, sorry, I'm a huge iPhone fan. I was one of the nerds who stood in line to buy it on the day it was released (even though I had the old one). But if you MUST ditch the iPhone, I think Blackberry is the only way to go. HOWEVER, you might wanna tough it out with AT&T for a little while and wait for the Blackberry Storm which should come out in about a month. It is a touch screen phone like the iPhone and will be an awesome phone (but I'll never join the dark side, haha). You can find a little bit about it here Verizon tells us all about the BlackBerry Storm's "WOW factors" - Engadget Mobile Here's a commercial But iPhone is still better I will we be getting new models every time they come out |

I have thought about the storm...but I'm not sure I am wanting another phone that is all touch screen. Sometimes I miss having buttons. And, it looks like it is one of the bigger, bulky blackberry's and I don't like that either. So we'll see. btw...I stood in line for the original iphone....it was so much fun

| I have the pearl in red and love it. I also love how it stays in a standby mode so that turning it on is quick in case your in a hurry. I never did like waiting for the other cell phones to come on.

| I have a Pearl. Like another said, I'm not real crazy about the keyboard - I text quite a bit though and have gotten used to it somewhat. However, I wish I would've gotten the Curve.

| Im so glad I came across this .Ive been trying to decide what phone to get and woried the keyboard on the pearl would bug me. BUT I like the idea that the new pearl is a flip phone. So its the curve, pearl or G1(t mobiles touch screen). I only have 4 more weeks to decide. |

| I have the blackberry curve! It is the best phone I have ever had, my mom has the I phone and I like my phone more. The keyboard is nice for texting and writing e-mails. It has some cool applications. If I were you I would spend a little extra for the curve it's not much bigger and it has a full keyboard. The curve isn't too bulky its actually a normal phone size. There is a reason that they call it the crackberry! They are addicting
