I posted yesterday afternoon asking advice about whether to get a BlackBerry (I've never had one before). Also about whether I should wait for the Curve (through Verizon) or get the Pearl. Well, I went last night and came home with a Pearl.
I am already addicted to it. I managed to get all of my e-mail accounts synched with it last night, but am still trying to figure out the other stuff. I'll probably be asking a lot of questions today!
Welcome to the CrackBerry...you can find ANYTHING here to help you get the most out of your BB. Never be afraid to ask questions...everybody here has been GREAT.
Welcome aboard ! My 2 cents - you made the right decision going with the Pearl. The Curve doens't seem to offer anything more than a full keyboard - which equals more bulk !! Once you get used to SureType you are golden !
Before I got my blackberry I was thinking about getting an Iphone. As I was at the AT&T store playing with the Iphone.... I got totally dissatisfied when the text messaging keys kept skipping letters and giving me letters that I didn't type in. I went to the blackberry and fell in love with the 8310 Blackberry curve. Yeah it doesn't have a touchscreen but at least I can type decent!

Welcome. These crack masters can answer any questions you have...just ask!!
I love the size of the Pearl. You couldn't go wrong with either though! Did you get a memory card for it?
Hey Heather (and everyone else) - I am in the same boat, got my Pearl the second week of April and haven't looked back (went from a Krzr K1m and paid full price for the pearl lol). I am addicted already, I love it! I am in Canada on Bell Mobility...the only thing I wish is that we had Unlimited Browser up here like for a standard phone, it's the only thing keeping me from living online...as far as the Suretype, I got the hang of it in a couple of days and now can text SO much faster.
And yeah, already getting crackberry thumb.
I looked at the Curve the other day (Bell just got it) and other than the keyboard it's not really different, but bigger - which for a girl makes a difference (being dainty and all *snerk*).
