Default Got a used Pearl off eBay and am loving it!

I've had a 8330 for a year and a half now but I decided to get a 8130 when I saw it on eBay for only $50. So far I am loving the small form factor and the feel of the keyboard! It's nice that a phone that is so old is still a pretty good phone for messaging and email purposes. I love my BB's!

I currently have a Torch and every now and then I'll throw my sim card into my Pearl 8120.

I've had my 8130 for three years or so and still love it. I do want to get a new BB, but I'm not rushing!

As I wrote in the Crackberry Haiku thread in the off-topic discussion forum:

My carrier said,
"You can now upgrade your phone".
I still love my Pearl.

8110/8120/8130 are great devices. I can't say the same with the 8100 because is sooooo slow and the speaker is not good.

I had the 8100 for years. Its still in perfect working condition. Then I upgraded to the 8120 still such an awesome phone after all this time. I recently got an LG Optimus, but I am still using my 8120 as an emergency phone with a prepaid sim. Android phones are nice, but there are still some things they will never be able to out do the 8120 on! So I still use my bb for task manager, note taking and alarms. Even the battery is better lol And it is amazing that this model has such a long life-span. More proof that RIM is awesome cause this phone is still relevant in my life and I've been using BB Pearl since 2006.

I'd like to see them bring the 9100 series to CDMA, I know several that would love one.

I also would like to see the new Pearl 9100 in a CDMA. I have a Pearl 8130 as a backup phone.
