Blackberry - Pearl Smartphone Cell Phone Review

So this was my very 1st Blackberry and instantly I was in love! Because I work from home sometimes, I was able to still receive my e-mails without being attached to my laptop. Even when I'm in the office & I need to be away from my desk but I'm waiting on an important e-mail, I can venture off & still stay on top of things. I love the fact that I could sync this phone with my Microsoft Outlook so even if something happened to my phone, I still had all of my contacts on my computer or vice versa. The only thing that I didn't really like about it was the keyboard. I would've preferred a full QWERTY keyboard versus the 2 letter per key deal with the Pearl. Also, I'm rough on a phone & after a couple of weeks, mine was pretty dinged up. I guess I should've invested in some protective equipment. I was excited when they came out with the 8800 but disappointed to find that they didn't include the camera with this one. Then came the Curve & I'm in love again! I will be buying this ASAP!
