My cellphone contract with Sprint finally ended and I am looking for a new plan to go with a new phone. I'm pretty tired of having a cellphone and pager, so I want to combine the two (I don't feel like explaining why it's very important to me to have email capabilities similar to a pager, but if you must know, I'll tell you later

my friend has one and I think he likes it. When I saw him using it a few weeks ago, I was drooling all over it's shiny prettiness. My only concern is that I'm addicted to my sidekick's one letter per key keyboard, and the Pearl has the compromise keyboard and predictive text typing.

I initially had that problem too. I text message so much on my phone that I'm used to that type of keypad (as long the Pearl as T9, I'll be ok!). I would rather have something that looks like a phone and will be comfortable to talk on, since I do a lot of that as well. I tried putting the 8700 BB against my ear and it felt awkward and fat and generally uncomfortable.

My parents used to have the Sidekicks but switched over to BB, I think they like not having to flip the screen all the time, since they use theirs for paging/email only.

The Pearl has SureType, not T9 -- fourteen keys with two letters per key.

Oh man. I knew it looked weird. Is it easy to use?
