I like our Blackberry Pearls (8130) ok...i probably can call it the best owned - it's our 1st smart phone, and we like the still "normal" size of it...
but it's obsolete now and I keep worrying about future SW support, etc...(got it from Alltel before the merge with Verizon - now being served by Verizon). We live in an area where only old "brick" Nokias have worked and the BB Pearl does a decent but not stellar job of maintaining service...another reason i hesitate to upgrade: who knows if new(er) phones like Droids and Iphones would pull in signal so well like the BB now does?
