Hi all! I'm about a month into owning my 8120 and have been about 99% happy with it. The only things that I miss from the iphone are the way it handles html email, and its web browsing experience.
I do love how the 8120 is infinitely customizable, though, that's right up my alley! Very happy with the phone features, too. Already looking foward, though, to buying a Bold when it hits the streets
Yea - the smaller screen took some getting used to, but it wasn't that hard. The joy I get from having a REAL keyboard offsets that!
I think that of the curve choices I had, none of them had wifi, and that was why I went with the pearl. Wifi and video camera were two of my must-haves, and I am pretty sure that the 8120 was the only one that gave me both.
The iphone just feels very dumbed-down compared to the BB. Previously I had a Treo 680 that I was quite enamored with, but they don't seem to be able to keep up with the needs of power users, so BB became the natural choice
Have been using the excellent 8820 for a year now, in addition to an ordinary mobile (SE K810i). Am now replacing the regular mobile with a Pearl 8120 next week, so will run two Blackberries and can dispense with all the extra chargers, etc and syncronization faff with the Sony Ericsson.
What's the battery life like on the 8102, BTW? I expect it to be good...
