I really like the BlackBerry Pearl series of phones. I owned one for 6 months but it got stolen and I missed it so much I had to get a new one. They are such a great deal for being what they are too. They have a nice large screen, that amazing trackball mouse is genius and couldn't be smoother, and the keyboard is my favorite part!! At first I thought that I would never get used to the 2 letters to each button set-up but within a day or two I was typing on it like a normal keyboard. The great thing about the keyboard is that the keys are able to be much bigger than on a regular phone keyboard where it has 1 letter to each key which in turn makes it much easier to type than on ANY other cell phone that exists. Touch screen phones like the iPhone and others are over the top(and I'm not some old man, I'm a 19 year old that has worked at Circuit City) because your fingers don't touch the letters as well as you might like. I am in love with this phone. The only improvement would be to get a better camera but it already has a 2 MP camera built in WITH a flash.
