The BlackBerry Pearl is my new best friend. I have had it now for just 5 days and already feel like I'm gaining control of my life back. It was time for me to cross the divide and go beyond cell phone and into PDA territory. Initially I thought I would get the Curve, but it felt too wide in my hand and keys were tiny. The Pearl was a much better option for an easy transition from cell phone to PDA. I was concerned that it would take me forever to figure out how to access my email and sync my calendar, but to my pleasant surprise, it was extremely easy and intuitive. The interface is great and it's easy to use the help function for those times I do get stuck.
It saves me a ton of time being able to attend to emails on the go. Being able to look something up on-line occasionally is also helpful. For someone who will be a PDA-lite user, I strongly recommend considering the BlackBerry Pearl.

Yes, it's definitely a good transitioner going from phone to PDA!
