Motorola Q9M vs. Blackberry Pearl 8130

Hey,
I'm debating whether or not to wait for the new blackberry pearl 8130 coming out in the beginning of November or to just get the motorola q9m. I'll just be doing the basic stuff and kind of like the bigger screen on the q9m but just wanted to know what other people thought.
Thanks.

Have you used a pda type phone before? Would you rather have WM6 or Blackberry?

I have used smartphones before, but I have never owned one. My friend has a dash and its pretty good, but I was just wondering what people prefer and why. Also what the two phones differences were.
Thanks.

Well, blackberry will have the blackberry OS. It's a little more user friendly than Windows Mobile 6. The keyboard isn't full QWERTY.

Q9m has WM6, is a little wider (but flatter) and has a full QWERTY
