i HATE my Pearl. Several time already Ive been tempted to throw the thing from a speeding car, but figured that would be too gentle!

I have the curve. Im on my third. Great phone, but not reliable. Some power supply issues, currently the 'p' and 'enter' keys dont work. Occasionally the phone locks up or the screen washes out. I know of several others with the phone who have similar problems

I have it as well and it has locked up several times. Have to take the battery out and wait about 5 minutes for it to restart. A friends does the same thing as well. My wife has the Iphone, which I love for the Internet, but for texting and email the blackberry is better because of the real keyboard.

Yeah that often works. The last one I had wouldnt respond to that though. The scroll ball would work (but couldnt 'click'), and nothing on the keyboard worked. That was replaced under warranty.

+1 for this post... I am taking my pearl and throwing it into a brick wall with all the speed of a fastball (at least as much of a fast ball as I can throw)... the resulting pieces that lived will be smashed with a large jagged rock!!!

That should sum up my thoughts on the pearl...

I am hopefully going to Verizon soon for the storm, which I hear is pretty good once you update the OS...
