    I'm considering the BB Pearl and Curve and was wondering what everyone
    thought of these. I like the size of the Pearl, but I'm not sure I like the
    two letters per key type of keyboard. I'm going have a look at them today at
    lunch, but just figured I'd ask opinions of them in general, particularly
    call quality. I'm not a business user, so I'd use it mostly for calls,
    texts, perhaps web stuff (email, etc.). Not sure how many multimedia
    features it has though.

    Thanks.

    on the Pearl: you pay atleast $30 for your web, can view email attachments such as word doc, exel, pdf, etc.., I really like the size but the 2 letters per key might take a while to get used to.
    Instinct, you cannot view email attachments, but it gives you an option to save them to your memory card, you can view jpeg pics thou. The touch keyboard is small, you have to go back and correct mistakes, one good thing about that is that it ***** checks for you : ).
    I might be wrong on this one but I think the BB pearl does not support the tv, the music videos, and the radio like the instinct does.

    I love my Pearl. The keyboard certainly took a couple of weeks ot get used
    to, but I have become pretty proficient on it. I just got back from a
    week's vacation and DID NOT take a computer with me. I was able to keep up
    with email with minimal effort.

    Calls and texting are fine. It sounds like we may at the opposite ends of
    the spectrum in terms of needs, as I am more of a hardcore business user of
    the phone. I can't comment on too much of the multimedia and web stuff
    because I just don't use it very much. However, as a communication device,
    it is easily the best phone I've ever owned.
