    The Pearl is a good device. My wife has one and loves it.

    If a small device is what you are looking for, you won't get smaller than the pearl. Its a great phone, you won't regret it.

    You should get a curve. Honestly they are less than a half inch wider and the same length. They are just perfect!!! You will not regret it I promise. But trust me the curve is so much better than the pearl

    I would get the Pearl. I'm getting the Pearl 8130 very soon. It's small and very nice looking. I am sort of nervous about learning the SureType thing, but I'm SURE i'll catch on.

    Don't worry! Suretype is the easiest thing ever.

    It took me maybe half an hour to adjust to SureType! It will come as natural as your bowel movements! Ok maybe not that natural. Get a pearl, you will love it!

    If you're looking for the smallest, most phone like Blackberry out there, the Pearl is it. You could wait for the Kickstart, but who knows how far away that is on CDMA.

    Whats the difference between BES and BIS

    BES is enterprise so you will get it from work and be able to sync work email and such and BIS is blackberry internet service which is what you get as your data plan and I got a pearl and the sure type is easy money didn't take long to get used to it there's nothing to learn and since I used to use T9 on my moto it was almost a smooth transition but this is way easier and faster
