    I got one of these on a contract from O2 as I loved my old blackberry but I'm afraid I hated it and sent it back within the 14 days allowed!

    It just wasn't as good as any of my previous blackberries and didn't get a very good signal either!

    It's a nice phone to be honest, but if you're not adventurous or you do not want to keep on at something untill you get it then sell it.

    The keyboard will take alot of getting used to and the pearl is the "Marmite" phone of the industry, you either love it or hate it.

    pearl is easiest of all blackberry's - its a qwerty but small unlike most BB
