I made the switch to a new blackberry. As I’m not a fan of calling my new “device” Pearl, I’d appreciate you referring to it as Earl thank you.
My main reasons for the switch? Smaller, lighter, and it’s just a new gadget to mess with.
Pleasant surprises? Trackball works very well. Data speed is significantly faster and makes browsing the web possible. The voice recognition software is just cool. When I noticed the voice stuff I assumed it was one of those train it to recognize my voice deals. Nope, push a button and say “call 9 6 7 1 1 1 1″ and you’re dialing pizza pizza.
Stuff I can take or leave at this point? Camera, mp3 player. Maybe I’ll use those more down the road.

I have a pack I purchased for a Palm pilot years ago that I just cut to size and use. These guys appear to have a good product but I’ve never used theirs. […]
