    I love it! I blows Sidekick 3 away!

    I will say that I don't like the keyboard either but after using it for a while, you will get used to it.
    What makes the Pearl blow the Sidekick II away?

    I'm thinking about getting a Pearl or Sidekick 3, and I'm leaning towards the Sidekick 3. I just like the whole feel of it better, plus the unlimited texting.

    Look at my chart again and you will see why. It can do so much more than a Sidekick 3 and it cost less.

    The Blackberry 8100 do have unlimited text messaging if you get the 1000 or 1500 anytime minutes Blackberry Plan. It includes voice and data. It's hidden away at the T-mobile web site so not too many people know about it. Here's the link.

    Yeah, I think I'm going to stick with the SK3. You can't get unlimited texting with it on a FamilyTime Plan, it has a better design and keyboard, a much higher coolness facter, and allover everything I need. Plus, I may be getting a prepaid phone.

    ok... I just made the chart so people will be aware of what they are getting.

    I seen stories about people saying they wish it can do this and that when the Blackberry 8100 can already do that.

    If you are happy with the Sidekick 3 than keep. I am happy with my 8100.

    If I knew the Blackberry can do so much more than a Sidekick, my first smart phone will be a Blackbery and not a Sidekick.

    I actually originally did but one person said that prices always change so I took it off.

    Right now, Sidekick 3 data plan with voice plan, the data plan is at $19.99 extra. If you choose not to have voice plan than the price will be $29.99 data plan.

    Same thing with the Blackberry but just a dollar more so not so much of a big price difference.

    If you want unlimited text messaging with your voice and data for the Blackberry (like the Sidekick 3) than you need the anytime minutes plan. Those comes with everything you need.

    Not too many people know about those plans because it's hidden away at T-mobile website. You have to do lots of clicking and searching to find it.

    I also didnt care much for the bb keyboard and I heard after a while that the keys wear out which would cause some problems.
