Title: Refreshing upgrade from other BlackBerry's - Depends on Priorities
Review: I have had BlackBerry's for years since the "black and white" pager style models that didn't even have phones.Over time, I have found that even though I had the large-keyboard units, I typed out relatively short messages, generally, and did not have a use for the detailed keyboard. I did write a memo on a plane one time that when printed was two pages. I would not want to do that on the Pearl.What I can tell you is that if you are needing a phone plus email and not email plus a phone (note the difference), the Pearl is for you. I give it four stars only because it's not perfect; no phone ever has been.PROS: Camera - good. Thin, narron (better than the Q's wide size). I like the pearl instead of the track wheel we're so addicted/used to.Cons: Speakerphone is weak, to be expected for a small phone. Keyboard is too small to write long articles, like this one.
